Proclaimed to be the second biggest new year show in Scotland and with the Guinness Book of Records adjudicators present, the event at Stirling Castle this year was poised to be one of the largest and most exciting. The entertainment line up included Eddi Reader and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers so the esplanade was bouncing all night long! As part of the entertainment, the crowd took part in ‘The Worlds Largest Karaoke’ made official on the night by the GBR.
21cc Fireworks had spent months planning a special show for the new year revellers. Utilising the contours and features of the castle, the show was designed to fire from 11 different firing sites around the castle grounds. The whole show was computer controlled and digitally fired for precision accuracy.
A special treat was in line for the revellers on the esplanade – as the count down commenced, on zero the sky was filled with enormous golden crossing tails and green glittering plumes, leading into an onslaught of loud sky filling bursts and zig zagging candle sequences around the castle grounds. The pre-finale was a specially designed with an innovative saltire set piece, which fired across the front of the entire castle frontage raising an enormous cheer from the jubilant crowd.
The Event Director said “Well done to 21cc Fireworks. Another truly spectacular show and a real hightlight of the evening. The Saltire raised a huge cheer. Thank you for all your hard work and preparation“.
