Thousands of Scots turned up to the Royal Mile in Edinburgh to give Chris Hoy and his fellow Scottish Olympic meddalists a heroes welcome back to Scotland on their return from the Beijing Olympics. Chris Hoy, sporting all three of his Olympic golds, was joined by fellow cyclist Ross Edgar, swimmer Katherine Grainger and canoeist David Florence as the bus made its way from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood Castle

Scottish sporting fans covered the pavements along the entire route of the Royal Mile, waving Saltire flags and cheering the Scottish Olympians, who were fresh from a welcome home reception at Edinburgh Castle, where they were greeted by Scottish Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Louise Martin CBE, chair of sportscotland.

Our popular Edinburgh streaming video webcams on the Edinburgh Royal Mile filmed part of the victory parade where the Scottish Olympic sport stars were atop an open-topped bus to travel along the Royal Mile in Edinburgh Capital. Unfortunately our video footage of the Edinburgh Victory parade was slightly interupted by a very excited newspaper photographer who slightly `put his foot into it` during the live webcam filming

Welcome to our live Beijing webcam in China overlooking the Beijing National Olympic Stadium, `The Bird’s Nest Stadium,` in the heart of China’s capital city, Beijing. We have tried for months, to source and arrange a live webcam in Beijing, to feature for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games. At the last minute, on the day of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony, Friday 8th August 2008, we’ve been able to find a webcam location in Beijing overlooking the Bird’s Nest Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China. The special date of the 8th day of the 8th month for the year of 2008 was certainly our lucky date for the team at Camvista. We really couldn’t believe that the Chinese Authorities in Beijing would allow us to install a live `unrestricted` webcam overlooking the Beijing 2008 Olympic Stadium. Great news for webcam watchers who want to catch the party atmosphere at the world’s greatest sporting event, the Summer Olympic Games, live from Beijing in China.

Unfortunately, due to current smog conditions, caused by pollution in Beijing, our Olympic Games webcam overlooking the 91,000 all seater Bird’s Nest Olympic Stadium in Beijing might have a slight grey blurry view throughout the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Hopefully by the Olympic Games closing ceremony, on Sunday 24th August 2008 the smog conditions in Beijing will have cleared up to allow us to display a stunning live webcam view overlooking the Beijing National Stadium. Keep checking the Beijing webcam daily as the Chinese Authorities are working 24 hours a day to try and clear up the smog in Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games.

The team at Camvista might be zooming in their Trafalgar Square streaming camera towards the giant screen so that we can give some live Olympics Game coverage, over the Internet!!! We haven’t been able to locate a webcam location in Beijing for the Olympic Games, for a Olympic Games webcam, so we might as well provide some live webcam coverage of the Beijing Olympic Games in China via the giant screen!!!

On Sunday 24th Auguest thousands of Londoners are expected to be at Trafalgar Square to watch the handover of the Olympic flag from the Beijing Mayor to the London Mayor, Boris Johnson in the capital city of China.

Camvista, one of the world’s leading webcam operators, are currently seeking a webcam location in Beijing, China to promote online coverage of the forthcoming 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

Camvista would like help from a company, or individual located in Beijing, China, who can provide a webcam location, overlooking a city centre area of Beijing, or inside a busy Bar or Restaurant in China’s capital city, Beijing, so that webcam watchers, around the world can enjoy the online atmosphere of the World’s greatest sporting event, the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

Camvista will be happy to provide all the required webcam equipment, webcam hosting, as well as broadband and local power costs to a Chinese partner, ideally an Expat working in Beijing so that the proposed Beijing webcam in China can get a worldwide webcam audience. The Scottish based webcam operator will be happy to continue with a live Beijing webcam, after the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games to help promote and market Beijing to a worldwide webcam audience.

Currently there are very few webcams in China’s capital city of Beijing and hopefully the proposed Camvista Beijing web cam will be the first of many in Beijing and other areas of China.

Do you know a good webcam location in Beijing that will give a good flavour of the Beijing Summer Olympics? If so, please contact Camvista as quickly as possible so that we can arrange to install and operate a Beijing cam before the forthcoming 2008 Olympic Games in China
