This video is about 2018 LERWICK, SHETLAND ISLANDS (SCOTISH ) & KIRKWALL, ORKNEY ISLANDS (U.K.)
Shetland Islands: West Shetland
Recorded September 2, 2008.
Shetland is an archipelago in Scotland, off the northeast coast. The islands lie to the northeast of Orkney, 170 miles from the Faroe Islands and form part of the division between the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the North Sea to the east. The largest island, known as Mainland, has an area of 374 square miles, making it the third-largest Scottish island and the fifth-largest of the British Isles.
My tour of the Shetland Islands continues is this video as we have left Scalloway and drive to the west coast of Mainland Shetland for a scenic view. Along the way we see sheep, cows, horses and shetland ponies. The video concludes as the tour ends back in Lerwick.

Places to see in ( Haltwhistle - UK )
Haltwhistle is a small town and civil parish in Northumberland, England, 10 miles east of Brampton, near Hadrian's Wall. It had a population of 3,811 at the 2011 Census. Stone-built houses are a feature of Haltwhistle. It is one of two settlements in Great Britain which claim to be the exact geographic centre of the island, along with Dunsop Bridge in Lancashire, 71 miles (114 km) to the south.
The name Haltwhistle has nothing to do with a railway stop. Early forms of the name are Hautwesel (1240), Hautwysel (1254), Hawtewysill (1279), Hautwysell (1381), Haltwesell (Speede 1610). The second part -twistle relates to two streams or rivers. It derives from two Old English words twicce or twise, 'twice', 'division into two' and wella, 'stream, brook'. The second word is reduced in the compound word to ull, making twicculla, twisella. All but one of the examples in place names represent a high tongue of land between two streams where they join.
Haltwhistle was probably in existence in Roman times, as it is one of the closest approaches of the River South Tyne in its upland reaches to Hadrian's Wall. The old Roman road or Stanegate passes just two miles to the north of the town. The development of the town was based on its position on the main Newcastle to Carlisle road and on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway line.
The expansion of Haltwhistle in the 18th and 19th centuries was due to coal mining in the area and to a lesser extent the use of Haltwhistle as a loading point for metal ores coming from the mines on Alston Moor. In 1836 while some workmen were quarrying stone for the Directors of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, on the top of Barcombe, a high hill in the township of Thorngrafton and Parish of Haltwhistle, one of them found a copper vessel containing 63 coins, 3 of them gold and 60 copper. The gold coins were, one of Claudius Caesar, reverse Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus; one of Nero and one of Vespasian. The find is known as the Thorngrafton Hoard and the empty arm-purse can still be seen in the museum at Chesters Fort.
Haltwhistle was a market town for the exchange of local goods. In the 18th century two Quakers set up a baize manufactury and there was a weaving establishment. On the Haltwhistle Burn were fulling mills, dyeing and spinning mills. A walk along this stream to the Roman Wall, shows that it must have been a hive of industry with quarries, coal mining and lime burning kilns. The Directory of 1822 (Pigot) gives a whole range of craftsmen, shopkeepers and traders—60 in number, including makers of clogs. The weekly market was held on Thursdays and there were fairs on 14 May and 22 November for cattle and sheep.
Hadrian's Wall to the north of the town is used as a major selling point for the town. The section of the wall closest to Haltwhistle is among the most spectacular and complete, with the wall striding eastwards from the lake at Crag Lough along the spine of the Whin Sill.
The remains of Haltwhistle Castle and the series of Bastles, and Haltwhistle Tower. Haltwhistle also claims to be at the geographic centre of Britain – equidistant from the sea as measured along the principal points of the compass. A hotel in the centre of Haltwhistle is named the Centre of Britain Hotel in recognition of this claim. The claim is rather tenuous as it requires that the northern extremity is taken to be Orkney rather than Shetland. Depending on how the centre of the island is calculated, however, the centre can be said to be Dunsop Bridge in Lancashire. See centre points of the United Kingdom.
There are many historic properties nearby, including Featherstone Castle, Blenkinsop Castle, Unthank Hall, Bellister Castle, Coanwood Friends Meeting House, and Thirlwall Castle. Haltwhistle Viaduct lies to the south of the railway station and was the first major feature on the Alston Line to Alston, Cumbria.
The town is served by Haltwhistle railway station on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, also known as the Tyne Valley Line. The line was opened in 1838, and links the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear with Carlisle in Cumbria. The line follows the course of the River Tyne through Northumberland.
( Haltwhistle - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Haltwhistle . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Haltwhistle - UK

Discover wild Orkney: Autumn
Discover wild Orkney in autumn.
This is a time of change. Many birds that have called Orkney home for the summer and raised their families here have left. Seabirds like guillemots and puffins have headed out to sea, while Arctic terns have begun their annual journey to the other side of the world. At the same time birds like redwings and many geese arrive. Waders gather in large groups along the shore and take to the air together when startled. The sight of a swirling, shimmering flock of golden plover is breathtaking. For grey seals though, this is when they have their pups. Orkney is an internationally important home as a breeding ground for both grey and common seals (which pup in summer) and a great place to go seal- watching.
Take a look for yourself to discover wild Orkney in autumn.

Lands End to John O’Groats
Follow my journey leaving Fort William on The Great Glen Way as I follow the calm and quiet trail along Loch Ness, through to Fort Augustus and eventually Inverness. I will face a terrifying encounter among the mountains, alone in the dark in attempt to sleep in a Bothy, along with a few other questionable places to sleep.
From Inverness I make the home stretch on the John O'Groats Trail to the furthest point in the north of the United Kingdoms island of Albion and Alba. Along the way I make some new friends for life and finally become an official End to Ender!

Ultimate Guide To The Isle of Skye Scotland | Old Man of Storr and Much More | Scottish Highlands
We have been to the Isle of Skye on three separate occasions and have done many things on Skye. A couple of the most memorable experiences were hiking The Old Man of Storr, hiking The Quiraing, seeing the northern lights near Fairy Pools, and experiencing the strongest wind ever at Duntulum Castle!
The Isle of Skye is one of the most spectacular places on this planet, but the weather can be very temperamental, as you can see in our Isle of Skye Video! Even with visiting this highlands isle as many times as us, we were still confronted with extreme wind and rain each time--it's basically inevitable in Scotland!
So no matter what time of year you go, expect a little bit of the Scottish weather but don't worry, it's actually quite fun! The only advice we can give you on the time of year to go is that the summer is peak season and they titrate the number of people they allow onto the island if you are a tourist! So look at going in the shoulder seasons or book your accommodations well in advance and leave early to beat the traffic on those narrow Scottish Isle of Skye roads!
Cheers!

4K City Walks: Orkney Island - Kirkwall - Virtual Walk & Walking Treadmill Video takes you around the little city of Kirkwall on Orkney Mainland. Home to an amazing castle ruin as well as ferry port from Aberdeen and the airport and a cathedral. The old town is lovely with lots of hotels and restaurants and shops while the port area has marinas and other amenities. We fought the rain a bit but hopefully you enjoy this virtual walk and walking treadmill video. Either for exploration or exercise.
From Wikipedia:
Kirkwall (Scots: Kirkwaa) is the main town of the Northern Isles and the capital of Orkney, an archipelago to the north of mainland Scotland.
The name Kirkwall comes from the Norse name Kirkjuvagr (Church Bay), which later changed to Kirkvoe, Kirkwaa and Kirkwall.
Kirkwall is 130 miles (210 km) north of Aberdeen and 528 miles (850 km) north of London. It is situated on the northern coast of Mainland Orkney with its harbours in the bay of Kirkwall to the north, and with Scapa Flow 1.4 miles (2 km) to the south. Its parish, St Ola forms the isthmus between Firth and Holm. It is the most populous island settlement in Scotland.
The 'Kirk' of Kirkwall was not the Cathedral (which was originally at Birsay), but the 11th-century church of Saint Olaf of Norway. One late medieval doorway survives from this church, and an aumbry from the original church survives within the late 19th-century structure of the present-day Saint Olaf's Church (Episcopal) in the town's Dundas Crescent. At the heart of the town stands St. Magnus Cathedral, which was founded in memory of Saint Magnus Erlendsson, Earl of Orkney 1108–1117 by Earl (later Saint) Rögnvald Kali. Next to the Cathedral are the ruins of the former Bishop's Palace and Earl's Palace.

Marilyn Bagging 1552nd by Iain Brown - Ward Hill, Fair Isle, Shetland Islands
Marilyn Bagging (hill climbing in the UK.) - Iain Brown, from Wales, now living in Edinburgh, came to the Fair Isle to climb his final Marilyn in the UK. Ward Hill 217meters, is Iain,s 1552nd Marilyn! What's a Marilyn? A Marilyn is a hill with a prominance of 150 metres or greater, , that is a drop of 150m (500 feet) on all sides There are 1554 Marilyns in Britain but the 2 inaccessible stacs in St Kilda (Stac Lee and Stac Armin) have not been climbed by any of the Marilyn Baggers, though the other hill of St Kilda are on Iain's list. So no one has completed all the Marilyns on list. Iain has travelled the length of Britain in his quest. There are only 3 others that have reached 1552 to date.
A peerie Shetland tour
A record of a three day cycle tour to the north of Shetland from my home in Scalloway with a couple of friends.
There was a strong northerly wind the whole time and the first two days were spent largely heading into it. It was slow and tiring at times! I've left a lot of the wind noise in deliberately. Coming back home was a breeze!
We met two inspiring Alaskan bike packers who were in Scotland for 3 weeks touring and had a good chat with them.
Thanks for watching!
