Don't worry this isn't a real Viking invasion. It's actually the biggest fire festival in Europe - Up Helly Aa and it's just lit up Shetland.

The spectacular Viking festival takes place on the Scottish islands on the last Tuesday of January.

People dress up in special costumes and march with torches before setting fire to a replica Viking longboat.
