Steeniehive fireball ceremony at Hogmanay

[slothead]

I would not do that in a cheap PV kilt in case the flames caught it

Great video

From what I saw, most of the fireballers were weren't kilted (as probably appropriate). On another topic, is there some narrative or descriptive info on the tradition and history of the event? It looks really dangerous for both the 'operators' and the spectators, so it must be a pretty significant tradition.
