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.

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.

Shetland fleece at Jamieson and Smith, Wool Brokers
During Shetland Wool Week, Jamieson and Smith receive a high number of visitors, my wife included. She purchased the fleeces of three distinct sheep one of which was white superfine. In the basement you can select just the fleece "that seems to have your name on it".
