A still and very cold but beautiful night for Da Nort Up Helly Aa, the galley burnt on the water (once the ice had been broken) and a great time had by all. The picture shows The Two Sandy Nelsons and The Two (heavily swaddled) David Nelsons (one technically a Seoras), Elaine and Caroline Nelson. Much entertaining satire at the hall later, best left undescribed, fabulous mince and tatties, and some very nice Clynelish 14-year-old, which is perfectly suited for outdoors flask-related consumption.
