Shetland

We stayed in Scalloway. It put us in a better position for the west coast of Scotland and gave us a lee for the first time. The winds were still blowing from the NE.

This is a memorial to the people who ran and used the Shetland Bus. It had recently been visited by the Queen of Norway, who also opened the new National Museum. Many years ago the vikings exterminated the local population and settled in Shetland, it transferred to Scottish ownership somewhat recently, the affection for Norway lives on.
