aister Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Some of you asked me a while ago about Up Helly Aa, well its all happening tonight, which is a shame because it is blowing a gale and chucking it down. Very few of you will probably know what is going so here is a link to the live link if any of you are interested. The lighting of the torches is at half 7. http://uphellyaa.com/index-low.htm Edited January 29, 2013 by aister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulABF Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I went there a couple of years ago. Had a fantastic time. Two solid days of supping and watching the parade with the flaming torches down to the park in Lerwick where the longboat was burnt. Great stuff.
