Curious
2023年6月16日, スコットランド ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Although the main local inhabitants of the Shetlands are quite shy and easily scared - they are still very curious about the strange lady with that awkward machine (=camera) in her hands... I'm alwaysもっと詳しく
White Cottage
2023年6月17日, スコットランド ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Life in Shetland is most of the time close to water. Be at the sea, be it a loch like here in Whiteness.
For arty people
2023年6月17日, スコットランド ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Scalloway has a lovely atmosphere and attracts many artists. I'm not surprised. It's dreamy, sleepy but vibrant at the same time. Full of locals having a swim at night, a pint in the evening sun, orもっと詳しく
Idyllic

Bridge's End - Shetlands idyllic way of living.
Next door
2023年6月17日, スコットランド ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Next door from our traditional Shetland cottage there's the roof missing. Like on so many other buildings here. While the masonry is still top notch. Not sure but I think they still have the law thatもっと詳しく
(Vegan) Cake 24/7
2023年6月18日, スコットランド ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
The Cake Fridge in the Shetlands became an institution. And a tourist attraction. It is a tea room, open a few hours a day in summer. But if you come outside the hours or in winter - you're still ableもっと詳しく
The Nesbister Böd
2023年6月18日, スコットランド ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
In Shetland, a Böd was a building used to house fishermen and their gear during the fishing season. Today the böds (like in mainland Scotland a bothy) are used as a basic accommodation which can beもっと詳しく
Shetland Receivers

Sounds on for the video!
The Shetland Receivers, next to the Shetland museum and the Mareel (art and event centre), play different noises, sounds, readings or interviews of locals. To keep theもっと詳しく
Sea mist
2023年6月19日, スコットランド ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Today there's a moody sea mist. I love it!
We take the ferry from Shetland mainland to Yell (and later to Unst which will be an EV adventure, later more).
Yell
2023年6月19日, スコットランド ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
I think the island Yell is called like this because you can yell as loud as you want - nobody will hear you anyway... The drive is into the nowhere. More and more we are leaving civilisation and areもっと詳しく
Charging Adventure
2023年6月19日, スコットランド ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We have arrived on Unst, the most northerly island in the UK! A viking place.
And with only one 22kW charger! But since the island is small - we probably don't have to use it often, maybe today isもっと詳しく
Crofter's Cottage
2023年6月19日, スコットランド ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
On Unst we experience an authentic Shetland feeling while sleeping for a few nights in an old crofter's cottage.
There are no neighbours besides sheep - and probably some ghosts because next to itもっと詳しく
旅行者Lovely place to get away from it all, all the stress of modern life I think I could live somewhere like that.
Vegan EV TravellersI think Unst would be too remote for me in the long term. Two ferries to get to Lerwick (the next real supermarket). But lovely for a limited time to calm down.

Our first stop on the Hermaness cliffs are breathtaking. 150 above the Atlantic.
Strenous hike but worth it.
100% Nature
2023年6月20日, スコットランド ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Puffins. Sheep. Rabbits. Sea stacks. Steep cliffs. Sun. And no other people.
I travelled the world and am not sure if I have ever seen such beauty.
Most northerly
2023年6月20日, スコットランド ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
For a moment I'm the most northerly person in Britain.
Watching the most northerly lighthouse: Muckle Flugga.
Just wow.
Dream Cottage

If this were for sale - I'd be tempted. Beautiful Unst houses.
Most Northerly - but more South
2023年6月20日, スコットランド ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
Everything on Unst is "most northerly". The photo shows for example the most northerly house of the UK. And there is the most northerly church, the most northerly tearoom etc etc...
BUT - before I wasもっと詳しく
Vikings
2023年6月20日, スコットランド ⋅ 🌬 15 °C
Unst is thought to be the location where the Vikings first set foot on land in the North Atlantic area. There are the remains of at least 60 longhouses, the highest density of rural Viking sitesもっと詳しく

It is the bus shelter of Bobby who had to wait in the harsh wind and rain every morning for the school bus when he was six years old. The oldもっと詳しく
The Reel Gin

The award winning gin distillery on Unst was of course worth a stop.
And what else - it is the most northerly distillery in the UK...
Interesting gin variations I found in the shop. Gin with seaweedもっと詳しく
Male? Single? Red Car 🚗?
2023年6月21日, スコットランド ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
If you are male, single and drive a red car - you should be careful on Unst.
The White Wife may come to you and drive with you a bit - but only if she fancies you...
The ghost has been a constantもっと詳しく
Amazon on Unst
2023年6月21日, スコットランド ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
We are so used to doing our groceries in huge superstores like Tesco and the likes.
But there has been a time when a shop was a shop. Not a supermarket. Nor a superstore.
This time is still presentもっと詳しく
Colourful morning

You just have to love the Shetlands if they give you early mornings like this...
Most northerly again ...
