A really great day today! The weather is so good we can barely believe our luck! Fingers crossed for the next few days.
We decided to go north, to a place called Eshaness, where there are some impressive cliffs, coves and a Lighthouse designed by Robert Louis Stevenson's Grand father! - actually this Stevenson chap designed a number of Shetland's lighthouses.
The drive was spectacular, beside perfectly calm inlets, ("sounds") and along deserted roads. We went through small villages, Brae, Hillside, Urafirth and saw trout farms and loads of sheep.
Stopped at a campsite cafe for coffee and buns before arriving at the light house.
We walked about 4/5 miles along the cliffs, watching gannets, cormorants and obviously sea gulls. The sea was dead calm and looked inviting….. only a few miles of Atlantic to the Faroes, Iceland, Greenland, America….
