Oh Gosh! ... I remember Gale force winds like that when I lived over there. Actually, I lived in Bathgate myself for a few years, so I know it pretty well!

No PMs but saw your posts. Happy New Year to You................ 3.46am GMT and I'm just home after 1st footing 1 house................

Tell you what though most of the celebrations were cancelled anyway so I'm glad I always celebrate at home, the Edinburgh one was cancelled a few hours before the bells because of the winds.

We had intended staying at home but was invited to our neighbours and was there til around 3.30am..... Feeling pretty tired yesterday I can tell you

I felt for the people of Edinburgh (and tourists) when I heard they were going to be cancelling the street party, due to high winds (up to 70mph) ... one of the most focused events in the country, come New Year!

Oh well, sure they'll top it next year.

It's been cancelled before, people are going to stop going if it keeps happening. What I felt sorry for is that in Glasgow they cancelled hours before people turned up and they kept saying the one in Edinburgh is still going ahead. You could tell that it was going to get cancelled but they left it until the last hours after everyone had turned up.
