A-Wander in Lerwick

7. juli 2019, Skottland ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F

Mui and I set off from Nautica around 9:00a ... cold at 37F ... windy at times ... the sun barely peeking out but mostly hiding behind the clouds ... damp as well.

As it was Sunday, the shops and such were closed ... only an occasional glimpse of the locals who live in what the Shetland website describes as “the only town” in these Scottish islands. Very few fellow passengers wandering around town ... most likely on tours going to places outside of town.

The first part of our DIY exploration was a stroll through Lerwick ... the name of which comes from Leir Wick and means “Muddy Bay.”Les mer
