Inside the amazing Unst Boat Haven on Unst in the Shetland Islands: one of the most attractive and interesting museums in Scotland and well worth the trip from Shetland's Mainland to see, along with Unst's other attractions.

Scotland's most northerly castle, Muness Castle on the island of Unst in Shetland. It was built from 1598 by Laurence Bruce, a deeply unpopular Sheriff of Shetland. It was attacked by the Earl of Orkney in 1608 and the French in 1627. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/unst/munesscastle/index.html

Continuing to share favourite images from my 30+ year photographic career. One more from a favourite project; ‘The Magic of the Scottish Islands’, 2000 and 2001. This is at Hermaness on Unst, the most northerly of the Shetland Islands. At times during this day I was the most northerly person in the British Isles.

Das berühmte Unst Bus Shelter auf der Insel #Unst #Shetland
Leider ist sie im Winter nicht so hübsch dekoriert und bunt. Wenn das kein Grund ist, noch einmal nach Shetland zu fahren.

Muness Castle is a late 16th century tower house on #Unst, the northmost island of #Shetland.

(I miss Shetland, but it's a long way away from Tasmania. Although closer than London.)

An #Unst woman was surprised to see a #bagpiper serenade a string of Shetland #ponies.

Janice Priest was on her way to a self-catering accommodation she looks after when she encountered the impromptu concert.

#Dienstag ist #DingsTag

An mein heutiges Dings wurde ich durch eine Nachricht erinnert: "Shetland: 4000 Jahre alte Grabstätte unter zukünftigem Weltraumbahnhof entdeckt". Auf #Unst (einer der #Shetland Inseln) wird der #Weltraumbahnhof #SaxaVord gebaut. Ein Schild an der Straße weist darauf hin, dass
"Any Aliens will be reported to the Space Police an Transported to Mars"

And finally, St Olaf's Chapel (12th century).

This is not an island you come to if you want to zoom around and look at everything and then leave. If you like to wander and take photos and stare at wonderful scenery, it is definitely a place to visit. And there things to look at (easier if you do have a car, but I didn't).

I missed it very much when I left.

Underhoull Broch, Unst, Shetland. Mostly just the defensive walls I think (at the time I visited here I still believed it was possible for me to go and look at cool things, without needing to put them in any context). So broch, walls, great view.

Haroldswick is another town. Here are the heritage centre, the boat haven (wooden boats) and the Viking replicas I shared yesterday, as well as nice cafe and rocks.

#Unst #Shetland #landscapephotography

Baltasound is the largest town. The right hand photo shows the Baltasound hotel (it is surrounded by wooden cabins). It's about twenty minutes walk to the nearest shop. That problem of many hotels where you can't sleep because of noise from traffic, traffic lights, night clubs etc. is not a problem here.

A thread of photos from Unst, Shetland, and then I will move south.

Unst is the northernmost island of Shetland. I don't think there's any thing north of it but ocean (and ice). There are lands at a higher latitude but they're off to the sides. If head off in the direction of this view, you should hit Norway (where the nearest big city is).

It's very picturesque and the people are very friendly. Everyone you meet is your new best friends (although you won't meet many, as there's only about 600 living there).

Atlantic Puffins are very cooperative models. Somehow, up until this year, I always visited their summer locations outside of the season, sometimes missing them by just a day. But this year I had a great time photographing them in Shetland. I could do this all summer, every summer, they’re great company!
