Here,
a crown can be seen gathered beneath the steeple of the Tron
Church, with the clock showing midnight.
For
many years, until around the early 1990s, the Tron Church was
the traditional place for celebrating the New Year in
Edinburgh. The New Year Festivities are now a major
tourist attraction, and take over the whole of central
Edinburgh.
The
Tron Church stands at the corner of the Royal Mile and South
Bridge. It is now (2002) a small Museum and Visitor's
Centre for tourists. |
