Stonehaven Fireballs

Great experience, which is free to attend , run totally by volunteers A traditional ceremony to bring in the New Year, it is supposed to ward off any bad spirits for the New Year coming in. Fantastic Firework Display at the end We planned ahead via their Facebook page. Designated area for wheelchair / less abled attendees ., you need to arrive early as space is limited ( they had 10,000 visitors this year)Well marshalled by volunteers, great atmosphere , and very friendly and hospitable local people. The crowds gather a good 3 hours before the ceremony starts, and it’s freezing , so wrap up well and wear old clothes! Found it a bit scary being just a couple of feet from the fireballs themselves, but great to be part of it.
