Flare Up At Shetland


Recommended Posts

Grampian wasn't available at the time of broadcast, it only came in 1976.

 

The programme has an interesting analysis of the Shetland economic boom of the 1960's, which came from fish and woollen manufacturing. The success of these industries at the time was one of the reasons for opposing oil developments.

Some interesting UHA footage too (1:10 to 3:13). Both the senior and junior processions and burnings from 1962.

 

Also very rare footage of my old galley (5:23 to 5:30) which I had moored at the south end :D .
