Up-helly-aa
Up-Helly-Aa is Europe's largest and most spectacular winter fire festival. In the biting Arctic wind on the last Tuesday of every January, a Guizer Jarl leads one thousand men in guising costumes with flaming torches through the streets of Lerwick, the capital of the Shetland Isles, accompanying a Viking galley to its ceremonial burning.
Shetland -- Mainland Central
This map is part of the Ordnance Survey's Explorer series designed to replace the old Pathfinder map series. At 1:25,000 scale this detailed map shows a host of attractions including gardens which are open to the public, nature reserves and country parks as well as all official footpaths, bridleways, roads and lanes. Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The main advantages of this map are the geographical design of the sheetlines to capture the best local coverage, and the coverage of a larger area for value for money. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike.
A Lerwick Lifeboatman's Story
George Leith remembers the day when the first Lerwick lifeboat arrived in Shetland and his father took him down to the pier for a trip round the harbour. 19 years later he was on the pier once again when the lifeboat received a distress call. The crew was one man short and George answered the coxswain's request for a volunteer. So began his 30 years' service to the RNLI, the last ten as coxswain.
