Scalloway, participating guest harbour in this year's Cruise in Company leg of The Tall Ships Races, welcomes locals and visitors to their summer street party and fire festival.
The spectacular Cruise in Company is a 9-day leisurely cruise along Scotland’s west coast from Greenock to Lerwick, which is part of the Tall Ships Races 2011, presented by Szczecin, organised by Sail Training International.
The ships will call at their own choice of participating ports along the way. As well as the spectacle of the ships themselves, the welcome to Scalloway will include an action packed weekend of community and family events.
The programme includes a spectacular summer fire festival and Viking galley burning, weekend gala events, waterfront music stage, farmers market and craft fair, pipe bands, sports events, and a huge programme of community involvement plus activities for visiting Tall Ship crews – a true community event for young and old, locals and visitors!
Experience the hospitality of Shetlands ancient capital – with the unique feature of its Castle in the middle of the village harbour.
