Welcome to UP-HELLY-AA 2000 here are some pictures from Shetlands premier
fire festival. This page only shows the procession and galley burning
and does not cover the numerous parties at halls and venues around Lerwick.
The many squads which make up the around thousand strong parade go on to
perform acts of a humerous nature relevent to issues in Shetland over the
previous twelve months, and take months to prepare.
