Shetland 2016 Day 2

After an early start to get to Sumburgh Head for 9.30 we joined a prearranged walk around to see the numerous sea birds.






We couldn't resist taking this sign and Finlay acted out the part to demonstrate the humour.

We backtracked and drove up to Compass Point and around the airport noticing the two different beaches on either side.


We continued driving up the South Mainland visiting the old water mill at Quendale ....


....... and the beautiful Peerie Spiggie and Spiggie beaches.






With the weather improving all the time we arrived at the renowned St Ninian's Isle which can only be reached by walking across the tombolo (strip of beach). Finlay certainly kept the best for last!!
