    (Кількість балів 1.00)



    The Shetlands are islands near Scotland. In the ninth century, men from Norway came to the Shetlands. These were the Vikings. They came to Britain in ships and carried away animals, gold, and sometimes women and children, too.
    Now, 1,000 years later, people in the Shetlands remember the Vikings with a festival. They call the festival «Up-Helly-Aa».
    Every winter the people of Lerwick, a town in the Shetlands, make a model of a ship. It’s a Viking «long-ship», with the head of a dragon at the front. Then, on Up-Helly-Aa night in January, the Shetlanders dress in Viking clothes. They carry the ship through the town to the sea. There they burn it. After that people have a party.
