Visit to Shetland - July 2007

This was a short but special trip - we married in Shetland and this was a return for our 25th wedding anniversay. The weather was pretty poor (it can be really great in the summer), though we did get about one and a half nice days - enough to get one painting done! We had a great evening with family from Shetland and visited lots of old haunts.

Lerwick Town Hall on the skyline above the harbour, seen from the ferry in the early morning		The North Ness in Lerwick has been developed a lot since we were last there - there's now a good walkway
One of my favourite views in Lerwick - Gelly's Pier. Pity about the weather!		The peerie boat harbour, with lifeboat and the Swan.
The happy land - Tumblin, where Marwyn's family hails from.		The Shetland Bus memorial in Scalloway (also new since our last visit)
Another new addition - the new Shetland Museum, which is really excellent.		On the inter island ferry looking back towards Bressay
Commercial Street is being brightened up a bit!		Sunset over Fair Isle as we travel back on the ferry to Aberdeen

It was good to be back on the Old Rock - once we are retired we'll maybe get up for Up Helly Aa sometime!
