Up Helly Aa falls on the last Tuesday of January and in 2018 this was on the 30th. To get this shot you have to be in place for about 3/4 of an hours the place get very busy. 2018 was the only year I did decide to wait for it as I usually follow the squad on their march around Lerwick.
He he ... I got this shot in 2019. The guy at our B&B gave us the heads up as to where to go to get it - it was so tempting to stay with the squad, but really glad we waited it out too! Fabulous 2018 line up and photo.
