Edinburgh Hogmanay festivities Dec 06

The other day I told you I went uptown for the Up Helly Aa well last night I went up again for a few hours. This time it was for the "Night Afore International Festival" - I arrived at George Street at about 7:30pm - nothing happening so went for a pint then outside for a bit of ceilidhing .
Later on still - nearer 10pm the main event finally got to the stage at the West end of the street and I have posted a couple of videos of this unusual street entertainment. I enjoyed it a lot but I would be lying if I said that I had understood it !.
Perhaps you can tell me your opinions.
