In pictures: Scotland celebrates Hogmanay
- Published
Derek Coull sent us this photograph of the last sunrise of 2018 at Aberdeen beach.
The beginning of the new year was celebrated with parties, dancing and fireworks in villages, towns and cities across Scotland.
Others chose a more peaceful way to mark the end of 2018.
Here are a selection of photographs of the Hogmanay celebrations from around the country.
The ships' horns sounded as Hogmanay was celebrated in Oban, says Nick Edington. It was the "perfect start" to 2019, he adds.
There was also a spectacular display above Aberdeen city centre, says Rob Thain who managed to take this picture.
The big event was in Edinburgh and Helen Pratt sent us this photograph of the city's fireworks which she took from her vantage point at Inverleith St Serf's Church.
There were plenty of revellers on the streets of the capital celebrating the new year.
Edinburgh's celebrations included a performance by members of the Compagnie Transe Express on Princes Street.
People were dancing in the street in Scotland's capital.
But it was the spectacular fireworks above Edinburgh that were the highlight for many people - this picture was sent in by Greg Paterson.
Farnoush Hayati got a great view of the Edinburgh fireworks from Calton Hill, where there was a "really friendly atmosphere".
Meanwhile in Stonehaven, the crowds gathered for the annual fireballs ceremony. It was Phil Dunsmore's first time there and he thought it was "fantastic".
Fireworks also lit up the night sky above Aberdeen - and the spectacle was captured by Michael Diamond.
A much more peaceful photo from Katrina Johnstone in Fife. She got up early to witness the first sunrise of the new year from East Lomond near Falkland.
