SMUHA is my favourite one. They burn the galley in the sea at a different site each year.

That must be an amazing sight to see 😊

I saw it a few times when I lived in Shetland. I actually prefer the smaller ones, like the two on Unst, because you can get closer to the action... and warm yourself up by the fire 🔥 😆

I would love to see the ones in Unst, or Scalloway - maybe next year! 😊🔥

Can I put in a word for Cullivoe, they burn their galley in the sea.

laurenmadams.bsky.social•47 days ago

That sounds amazing, I will add it to the list! ☺️

The problem with that is that you'll get yourself wet when trying to get warm standing close to the fire 🔥 The sea is also very cold this time of the year 😝

Uyeasound Up Helly Aa (south Unst) is definitely my favourite... Don't tell Norik UHA (north Unst)
🤫🤐 😆

🤫 don't worry, I won't say anything
