Background

refers to any of a variety
of fire festivals held in
Shetland, in Scotland,
annually in the middle of
winter to mark the end of
the yule season
In Lerwick, the capital of Scotland's Shetland
Islands, a fire festival named Up Helly Aa is held
every January to mark the end of the yule season.
Local participants called guizers celebrate their
Norse heritage, dressing in Viking gear and
marching through town with battle axes and torches
as they drag a ceremonial Viking longboat. At the

die down, guizers sing the traditional song "The
Norseman's Home" before a night of partying.
