Waiting for the Sun - Summer Solstice in Shetland (+ Travel Tips)


Listen Later

'Waiting for the Sun' is part of the series A Year in Scotland. This is the June episode.

In this story, I'm taking you with me to Mainland Shetland and two little islands off the east and west coasts. Our journey begins with a boat trip from Lerwick to the cliffs of Noss. The island is a nature reserve and we're here to spot the incredible seabirds that call Noss their home. We continue to the west side of Mainland Shetland for a walk across a very special beach and over to St Ninian's Isle. We discover the island's fascinating history and treat ourselves to a very special experience on the beach. Our adventure ends with the latest sunset of the year.
