Annually, on the last Tuesday in January- if you’re late for work and use the excuse “a bunch of Vikings & a longship were holding up traffic” it is perfectly acceptable. 😉
🔥 Wishing Guizer Jarl Lynden Nicolson, his squad and all a brilliant Up Helly Aa 2026! 🔥
#uphellyaa #vikings #lerwick

+++ A big shout out to everyone attending the Up Helly Aa fire festival tonight, Tuesday 27th January 2026, which gets underway at 7pm @ Lerwick Shetland Scotland, to mark the end of Yule +++

Happy #UpHellyAa for those that celebrate.

OK, there are plenty of other village events but #Lerwick #UHA is still the biggie.

El faro de #Bressay, en las islas #Shetland, fue construido en la década de 1850 bajo el diseño de los hermanos David y Thomas Stevenson, frente al canal que daba entrada por el sur a la capital del archipiélago, #Lerwick. Su uso se prolongó durante más de un siglo.

A landscape image taken during a walk around Knab head in Lerwick. On the left of the image is the sea and the land is curving around it. On the right is a stone wall. It’s a lead in to the photo, at the far end of it are tiny houses reach right across the image. Between wall and see is a swathe of grass with wildflowers and from that rocks jutting out into the sea. The top third is a lovely summer sky, with light clouds and a backdrop of blue.

Love this place

#lerwick #shetland

An old stone building which stands with it's foundations in the water of the harbour. Between the two blocks that make up the building a red and white dingy hangs from a boom arm. The name "Lodberries" comes from the Old Norse word hladberg, meaning a landing rock, as the buildings were historically used as waterfront stores. It is one of Shetland's oldest buildings still in use, dating back to the 17th century.

Thanks to the Shetland Scottish Labour members who came along to my candidate drop-in meeting today in #Lerwick! Really looking forward to campaigning with you as we head towards the Scottish Parliament elections next May! 🌹

Out on the doors in #Lerwick today speaking to folk about ferries, NHS services and local priorities.

The conversations at the doorstep show just how much change is needed with Scottish Labour.

I'll be knocking right through to May, if I miss you, you can reach me anytime via my socials.🌹
