Shetland September 2015

After the September visit to the Cairngorms, there was just enough time to fit in a few days on Shetland before heading back to other activities in southern England.

But it was just long enough to have a look around the harbours in Lerwick and Scalloway.

High Tide at Hays Docks

Caribbean Princess, slightly smaller than Bressey but more people

Gemini at Scalloway

Scalloway Castle

And to wander along a few beaches.

West Voe of Sumburgh

Meal Beach

Quendale Beach

And to explore a few cliffs and headlands.

Scat Ness

Horse Holm, off the southern tip of Scat Ness

Looking north from Windy Stacks, Fitful Head

And to chat with the local livestock.

Sheep at Tingwall

Sumburgh Cattle

And to get a quick glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Fab place Shetland.
