Shetland Islands in Summer (Gallery)

July 30, 2017

A collection of photos from our summer holiday in Shetland Islands from June, 2017. We were lucky enough to have incredible sunny weather. The places we went to in this album are: The Burn of Lunklet (Aith), Hillswick Beach, The Eshaness Cliffs, and The North Mavine.

The private farmlands on the way to Hillswick Beach - this lovely farmer let us trot through

Nancie enjoying the fresh cool water streaming down

Kergord Road - like something out of a movie

The rolling hills of Shetland, being able to see this kind of scenery from any point of the island is astounding

One of the seals at Hillswick Beach by the Eshaness Cliffs - it kept coming to play with Nancie

By the Eshaness Cliffs, just us two

Nancie's impromtu dip in the ocean left her with no clothes to change into, and an embarassing walk back through the farmer's private lands. She is giggling at the prospect of being naked underneath her clothes

Little lamb came to say hi
