On Saturday, the weather was a bit cold and windy, but quite a few of the 2010 Lerwick Jarl's Squad marched along the Esplanade this afternoon to the 'Flavour of Shetland' event on the Victoria Pier. In addition, they brought with them the 2010 Hamefarin Galley, that will be floated on Loch of Clickimin next Saturday, and burnt floating on the Loch. This was the first time the galley was on general public display, as it has only just been completed - and its an excellent looking galley.
