I was barely off the plane when I saw my first ever puffin!

Booming waves on white sand beaches, windy picnics in hats and gloves, wonderful birdlife, (sadly bird death too froom avian flu), friendly people...my head and my camera are so full of images of a fascinating week on Shetland it will take me a few days to sort them out.

It seems that weatherwise,I chose the right week to go to the far north!

Welcome back ! No I've not visited Shetland but it's on my wish list of places to visit . Have attended the Shetland wool week on line and enjoyed glimpses of the glorious scenary. Have also seen Puffins here in West Wales. They a comical little characters. Look forward to hearing about your trip.

What a lovely holiday for you and quite a contrast in scenery . I haven't been to Shetland but have been to the Orkneys a couple of times which are similar but quite different. The Northern Isles hold all the things you mentioned plus the chance to feel history stretching back as far as you can imagine.

What a wonderful trip. I have been to mainland Orkney, but never to the Shetlands. I have really got a thing about islands and would very much like to visit the Shetlands and Fair Isle. I have seen puffins on Staffa. Tiree for me this year - can't wait!
