We Left the World Behind—and Found a New One
Where Scotland Meets Scandinavia
A Journey to Fair Isle
Where the North Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean
As MacArthur says, "We Shall Return" to this magical place where Scotland meets Scandinavia.
Our Scotland-Scandinavia Journey
Arriving at the crossroads where the North Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean - Fair Isle stands as a unique geographical marvel between Scotland and Scandinavia.
During 2020 and 2021, we took social distancing to the extreme by self-isolating on Britain's most remote inhabited island with just 45 residents.
The island's population shifted from 45 to 42 residents - minus our beloved dog Skyelark, who became part of the island's unique character.
Collecting memories in our trip reports titled "Not So Fair Isle" - documenting the raw, authentic experience of life on Britain's edge.
Like MacArthur's famous words, we too promise to return to this magical place where Scotland meets Scandinavia - a land that captures hearts forever.
The rugged beauty of this landscape, captured in breathtaking views from Shetland's main island, reminds us that some of life's most profound experiences happen at the edges of the world, where few dare to venture but many dream of reaching.
