The end of a POP!

Well this is how it all ends for the 'POP'!!

In a blaze 'o' glory !!!

It's been a grand night with lots of folk enjoying the display!! 

Pop night

This is an old Stromness tradition that happens on Guy Fawkes night.

A neep is carved into an ugly/scary head, the kids then go out with their 'pop' knocking on doors asking for 'a penny to burn their pop please!'

At the end of the night these pops get thrown onto the fire!!

Here's Thorfinn and Coleen's pops this year!!

Neeps carved ready for painting!!

Finished result!! SCARY!!!
