Fireballs at Stonehaven 2020????
Happy new year everyone❤️❤️❤️
Stonehaven New Year Fireballs 2015
The New Year is welcomed in a unique and spectacular way at Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire – by a procession of about 45 brave folk who whirl blazing fireballs around their heads on long wires. The balls are powered by wood and fabric soaked in paraffin and wrapped in wire mesh; they make quite a show as they are processed through the streets from midnight, before being hurled into the sea half an hour later. The origins of the festival may lie in ancient purification by fire or in rites to encourage the sun to return after midwinter. Today it’s a popular festival which looks set to continue for many years. The night begins with street entertainment from 11 pm; the fireballs are lit just after the stroke of midnight on the Town House Bell.

Stonehaven Fireballs Hogmanay celebrations 2010
The Ancient Fireballs Ceremony at this fishing village, 16 miles south of Aberdeen, is one of the most unique Hogmanay festivals in Scotland. At the strike of midnight the High street is lit up as sixty local fireball-swingers make their way, swinging their fireballs above their heads, through their town.
It looks dangerous. But, don't be alarmed. The fireballs are very safe - packed in wire cages and attached to strong, five-foot-long wire ropes.
What's a fireball made of?
The ingredients of a fireball comprise of combustible and oily waste matter (rags, twigs, cones, bits of coal) soaked in paraffin and held together in a case of wire mesh.
The 'balls are made as heavy as each 'swinger feels they can handle--5 to 15 pounds. Some balls can be 3feet in diameter and in the past they have been recorded to last for 2 hours!--now however they only last for 20 mins. max.
