Members of the Up Helly AA Vikings from Shetland light their torches as they prepare to take part in a torchlit procession through the streets of Edinburgh in Scotland, Dec. 30, 2016, as the city begins to celebrate Hogmanay. The procession is the opening event of Edinburghs Hogmanay 2016/17. Over 40,000 people are expected to throng the streets of the capital to watch the torch carriers as they illuminate the city, culminating in a breath-taking fireworks finale.
