Scotland’s Fire Festivals


November 19

7:00 pm

Virtual program


Scotland brightens its long dark winters with dramatic fire festivals, some of them dating back thousands of years. The most dramatic of all is Shetland’s ‘Up Helly AA’ festival, as featured in the ’Shetland’ series on TV. Find out about Guy Fawkes, and learn what it is to be a Clavie King, or the Guizer Jarl.

All will be illuminated by Tom Laurenson’s presentation on ’Scotland’s Fire Festivals’
