One of the world's best-known new year's eve events could see some changes over the next few years.
Not only will the pandemic play its part in shaping any future plans, Edinburgh City Council is also asking capital residents how they would improve, change, or even if they would want to cancel, Edinburgh's world-famous Hogmanay events.
They've launched a new public poll to find ways they can improve the city's festive celebrations to make them more enjoyable for residents living there.
The survey will, according to The Scotsman, ask locals what they would want to see change in any future events.
It will allow residents to offer their opinions on everything from the firework display to the street party itself.
The survey is also to give residents the option to vote on dropping any future events completely or breaking them up into two separate events that could be split between the city centre and another neighbourhood area such as Portobello.
There is still much uncertainty surrounding Edinburgh's Hogmanay party after it was cancelled last year due to social distancing measures.
Council chiefs told the paper that this time around they want to look at 'what the people want,' with the public to be consulted on everything from the Christmas market stalls to the funfair rides.
In the past, Edinburgh's Christmas markets have received mixed reviews after pictures emerged of the damage they left behind at Princes Street Gardens.
Now residents will be asked if future events should "complement the natural and built environment of Edinburgh” and “be of international quality."
The survey will run for a 12-week period quizzing locals on if they find the celebrations 'too crowded or expensive'.
Last year's event was the first time ever that the Hogmanay celebrations were enjoyed as a virtual event.
Split into three parts, a special film based on a poem from Scots Makar, Jackie Kay, highlighted the UK's largest swarm drone display featuring over 150 drones.
Entitled Fare Well, it featured music from Isle of Skye band Niteworks, as well as a performance from Scottish acting legend David Tennant, and was posted online for Hogmanay fans from around the world to enjoy.
