Cunningsburgh Primary School, Sandwick Junior High School and Bigton Stores (where the Bill was on display). All morning
visits were accompanied by the Galley.
The Jarl's Squad then departed for lunch at the Sumburgh Hotel where they also posed for photographs with the Galley. After

Centre at Levenwick. After this the Jarl's Squad departed for tea at Levenwick Hall where they remained until the muster for
the evening procession at Bigton in the evening. After marching up the ranks at 7:20pm the light-up commenced and the Jarls
Squad, accompanied by the Galley and 328 guizers marched through Bigton to the St. Ninan's Isle Ayre burning site.
Following the burning the Jarl's Squad visited the Gulberwick Hall, Cunningsburgh Hall, Sandwick Social Club, Bigton Hall and
the Ness Boating Club. All the squads performed in all the halls until the early hours. At the Schools, Bigton Stores and the
