Comrie Flambeaux, Perthshire.....Each Hogmanay as midnight is announced by the bells of Big Ben the flambeaux are lit. The torches which consist of long thick birch poles with tarred rags bound to the tops arae paraded around the village of Comrie in Perthshire preceeded by a pipe band. The centuries old tradition is supposed to signify the casting out of evil spirits...The pictured shows the flambeaux procession making its way through Melville Square in Comrie.
