Fantastic Islands!

Hi,

I think the Shetland Islands are one of the best places in the UK to visit and not just for wildlife.

I may be biased as I spent 18 months there during my time in the RAF - on the Isle of Unst in 1979/80. But I did go back for a visit in July, 2008 and was quite amazed at the changes! Not only the, now defunct, Base but to the areas of Wildlife. And they even had a new Brewery!

The most memorable things for me were the Puffins, especially outside Sumbergh Airport, and the Gannets in Hermaness. But I also remember the people as being as friendly as ever.

We even met Simon King up there! (oops, luvvie alert!).

I will try to visit again, but meanwhile I will try and post some photo efforts while there.
