Ian Thomason very kindly organised access for me to the Uyeasound Galley shed. The Uyeasound Up Helly Aa celebrates 100 years of fire festivals in 2011 and the Galley shed has been excellently decorated for the event. Here's the pictures - part 1 of 2.
The new galley Engistou - very impressive.
The galley can be steered - note the decoration at the stern.
