If I had been smart I would have grabbed webcam images of the spectacular Edinburgh fireworks automatically, every five seconds, and posted them here. Next year, maybe.

Imagine being in Times Square (as many will be in four and a half hours) and seeing the huge fireworks display. Now imagine looking out your front window, and seeing the same magnitude of fireworks going off in four different places. At the same time. For five minutes. I'll tell you, it beats Sydney hands down.

I'll post any pictures I find at the earliest oppurtunity.
