The westside of the main island is sometimes referred to as “the sunny Westside”, obviously said smugly by those who live there.
As we have a visitor, we are showing him the island – well, as much as I can drive around.
Yesterday it was the sunny Westside’s turn.
So, here we are on the road to West Burrafirth – a favourite drive – looking east towards the wind farm that sits on the hills doing very little. They are mostly kept switched off until the infrastructure is ready for them in Scotland. ‘Nuff said.
Sulma Water
After West Burrafirth, we drove over to Silwick to see the Westerwick coastal cliffs.
Then down through Skeld, past the marina.
And for a walk on Reawick beach with its distinctive red-coloured sand.
We had the beach almost to ourselves, which was lovely.
With weather and scenery like this, it don’t get much better in my book.
