There are roads in Shetland I go past and think “I must drive down there one day” but I never do.
So, today, we did!
We were in Tresta anyway (on the sunny westside of Shetland) and, after our appointment, Floss and I went exploring down a road I have always wanted to see what was at the end of. It was a lovely day, I had my cameras, my camera-holder (Floss) and it seemed like a good idea.
We found this! The entrance to Sandsound Voe.
There were some lived-in houses en route but the end of the road was more of a beauty spot than a place of habitation. This is Runna Ness or Runnaness.
(I had a bit of a play with my cameras, I will admit)
And look – Trees!
So, it was a very interesting little exploration and I must do this again definitely with my cameras.
Beautiful evocative photos. I wonder who lived there? Abandoned croft houses always make me feel a bit sad. My ancestors left Shetland in the late 19th century.
So beautiful! I’m jealous of the bird…
Me too!
Oh my…longing for Scotland and for my bucket list trip to Shetland. Is it true one can rent a Volkswagon van and tour about the islands camping along the way?
