The Guga hunt is an annual tradition where gannet chicks (Guga) are bashed to death in the name of tradition so they can be eaten as a local delicacy. This 'hunt' has no place in 2026 and we're campaigning to end it.

Will the winter never be over,
Will the dark days never go?
Must the buttercup and the clover
Be always hid under the snow?

Ah, lend me your little ear, love!
Hark! 'tis a beautiful thing;
The weariest month of the year, love,
Is shortest and nearest to spring.
