Restaurant and bar staff in Glasgow have been preparing for a busy night at the Ashton Lane street party.
About 3,000 people are expected at the event in the city’s west end.
Nisha Dhaka will be working as a waitress and supervisor at the Ashoka Indian restaurant, as she has done on previous Hogmanays.
She said: ”It’s quite difficult. You’re working and outside you can see people having fun.
”A part of you feels like I want to be outside, who wants to work? But I think it’s fun actually.”
She added: ”It’s nicer sometimes to take a step back and just see the people enjoying it.
”I would say it’s 80% working and 20% looking out of the window to see what’s going on because we want to be out there too.”
