Tony Clelford allerted me on the existence of a festival up in Shetland that occurs once a year, at the last Tuesday of January and is considered the biggest fire festival in Europe. It is a community event which involves many volunteers. It attracts tourists and involves a torch procession that ends in the burning of a full size Viking ship replica. It will act as a basis for the organisational logic of my project.
