Would you travel to Shetland to experience this?! 🔥 Wow, what a day and night Up Helly Aa was! This Viking fire festival has been on our bucketlist for as long as we can remember and this year, we finally made it! 🔥 Up Helly Aa is a tradition celebrating the Norse Heritage in Shetland. There are huge preparations that go into Up Helly Aa including the building of a large Galley and the making of incredible costumes. As night falls, thousands of torches are lit and the Jarl Squad lead the procession, marching and singing with their Galley in tow. This ends in the park where the torches are thrown into the Galley, setting it alight 🔥 If you want to see this incredible show then comment “guide” below and we will send you all of the details to your DMs 😁 We are Gemma and Campbell, two Scots who live in our motorhome fulltime and travel around the UK and beyond ☺️🚐 follow for more Scotland adventures and vanlife tips and tricks ❤️ @promoteshetland @visitscotland #visitshetland #shetlandislands #promoteshetland #shetland #uphellyaa #lerwick

The photos are from the galley burning ceremony of the Up Helly Aa festival at the school playgroup. This is a fantastic community even dating back over a hundred years, held the last Tuesday in January

Great visit with a very enthusiastic member of the committee greeting and onforming. People need to understand that access is limited due to the 'staff' all having real full time jobs.

I'm looking forward to attending another Up Helly Aa when the world will...
