Lerwick - PUFFINS GALORE! 3 of 5

We arrived at the Sumburgh Head Cliffs to see the seabirds and in particular the Puffins. A visit to Hoswick an Old fishing village which is now a center of knitwear where I had to buy a Shetland wool hat for sailing! Lots of Puffin photos and videos and an interesting tour and understanding about the lighthouses build by Robert Lewis Stevenson’s father and grandfather (he didn’t want to be in the business so he wrote). Actually Robert (Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde) had a very interesting albeit short life and that evening we had a lecture on how he became a writer, and his wife and family supported all his interesting endeavors but sadly he was always very sick and died at 44 years old in Samoa (where he owned land and lived for many years).
As he said: “Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
