A New Adventure - Ancestor Hunting in the Shetland Isles!!

Tomorrow I set off to Shetland, fulfilling a lifelong ambition to visit my Grandfather's ancestral home.

The trip there will be a small adventure in itself - train to Aberdeen and then overnight ferry to Lerwick. We leave Newcastle at 8:42 on Saturday and will finally arrive in Lerwick at about 7 on Sunday morning, almost 24 hours and still in the UK but closer to Norway than Newcastle!!
