Celebrations begin for Uyeasound Up-Helly-A’

Uyeasound Up-Helly-A’ is under way.
Guizer Jarl Duncan Scott and his squad are touring the island before tonight’s procession.
They plan to visit the Baltasound school, where a coffee morning is taking place, followed by a visit to Nordalea Care Centre at lunchtime and the Uyeasound hall in the afternoon.
The torch light-up is at 7pm, with the procession leaving half an hour later from the galley shed.
Squads will then march to the burning site on the Uyeasound beach.
