Lerwick: houses in Holmsgarth
Looking landward from the Northlink ferry just before it departs for Aberdeen on a sunny evening. This terrace of houses runs up the hill between Holmsgarth Road and North Road and the pitch of the roof catches the evening sun, as does a large roof of a unit in South Gremista Industrial Estate, in the distance.

The Shetland Hotel, Lerwick
Brutalist 70s architecture. The Shetland Hotel was built opposite the newly-built Holmsgarth ferry terminal during the height of the 1970s oil boom.

Welcome to Shetland Drive on the left
Is this the UK's only Faroese road sign? Sadly the Faroese ferry NORRONA no longer calls at Lerwick but on a clear day in summer she can be seen passing close to the north end of Unst on a Sunday evening.

Common Ivy (Hedera helix), Lerwick
Ivy is not native to Shetland, but is quite commonly planted. This rather variegated specimen is growing on a cliff beside the Shetland Hotel.
