I wasn't querying your account: the use of Up Helly Aa sets it unambiguously in Shetland. The names are not, on the whole, Shetland names - and the passage you quote uses the expression "the Shetlnds", which is one of those shibboleths - I'm being picky, for which I apologise. And I like the sound of the mermaid story.
