SCOTLAND: Up Helly Aa Viking fire festival
One of the lesser known festivals, the Up Helly Aa takes place in Lerwick, on the Shetland Islands in the far North of Scotland. This incredible festival is a superb spectacle, which involves a series of marches and visitations and which finishes with a torch-lit procession and the burning of a replica Norse galley. Think horn-helmeted Vikings and all-night party!
The trip includes all accommodation (including ferry berth), local guides and transport by bus and ferry.
