Shetland 2018 - Hermaness National Nature Reserve on Unst
Shetland Day 4 - Unst | Britain's Northernmost Isle
On the 4th day of our trip we went over to Unst, Britain's northernmost island. To get there we had to take a ferry to the island of Yell and from the North of Yell we took another ferry to Unst. We booked the ferries the day before, so we had a time frame to consider. It is highly recommended to book when it is busy. On Unst we saw Bobby's famous bus shelter, the Viking Unst Project, which includes a reconstructed Viking longhouse and the ship Skidbladner. We also popped into the nearby Unst Heritage Centre in Haroldswick. The next stop was Hermaness National Nature Reserve, which has many breeding birds, including Great Skuas and Gannets, of which we saw plenty. It took us roughly 2 hours to hike up to Britain's Northernmost point to see the lighthouse on Muckle Flugga and Outstack, the last piece of land before the North Pole. The view of the rugged coast was breathtaking and you have to see it for yourself as it is difficult to capture its true scale and the sublime feeling it leaves you with. On the way back to the ferry we stopped by a not-so-well preserved chambered cairn and the Underhoull Viking longhouse remains and broch. There was also a huge standing stone nearby, known as the Bordastubble Standing Stone (see my current profile picture). ☟☟☟

Shetland's Seabirds: There is Still Hope
On 3rd June 2018, The Guardian published an article telling of an Eerie silence that had fallen on Shetland's Seabird colonies. While British Seabirds are in decline, all is not lost. This short documentary explores the changes in UK seabird populations over recent years and what challenges seabirds face.

These striking photos capture puffins enjoying the summer sun - and having a bit of a quibble - on the most northerly inhabited island on the British Isles, the Hermaness Nature Reserve in the Shetland Islands. The Reserve is home to one-fifth of the Scottish puffin population and they gather here over the summer months for mating season.
