    Loved this. I live in New Zealand but my ancestors emigrated from Orkney in 1857. Visited there in 2013. It felt like home.

    These lovely places always make me 'homesick' even tho I do not have any particular connection to them....it's the greenery, the beautiful beaches, the emptyness that pulls me in - it's the connection with another time - when people had to find firewood, or dig up peat, make their own candles from fats, shear their own sheep, dig in the dirt for their food supply....all those old fashioned survival tasks we all 'know' in our bones from ages past ! And in terms of the ages it's not so long ago ! Beautiful - thank you !

    Worked from February 1976 on 3 occasions till 1982 on Sulom , I have visited several times since then to Unst , last planned visit snookered by covid , age might be a factor now , but I was one o the workers who had the Shetland fever . Unst and the people in Unst are special as is the fishing and hospitality . Enjoyed the wee film which just popped up , seems like I still have the Shetland fever , I check the webcams site often .Biggest stepping stone in my life was seeking work in Shetland . Stay safe .

    Great film Ian was in Unst for 2 weeks at a wedding , about 6 years ago , and then over to Skerries for a “hamefarin “ when the bride went back home , the whole 3 weeks were sunny every day , and good weather makes Shetland look spectacular . Hope to get back up to see my brother in law and his wife and all thier family , as long as our health holds we will be back . Thanks for your reply .

    Hi James. We spent a week in Shetland and a week in Orkney staying in self catering accommodation. I can't remember how much the ferries cost but check out Northlink Ferries for current prices. We took our car and I would say it's essential if you want to see as much as we did in two weeks. Thanks for watching 🙏
