Blackening

Fancy getting drunk while being covered in molasses, eggs and flour and then tied to a lamp post with clingfilm by your friends?

All you have to do is plan to get married and live in Orkney.

Your friends will do the rest and join in the fun.

You may be paraded in an open-top truck while drinking cans of Tennent’s, or just congregate in the town square for a lively public party. The whole of Stromness’s passers-by can then join in the celebration.

And after all the fun, the cleanup squad will arrive.

Thanks for the entertainment guys.
