Landed and Already Planning Our Return After 2 Days On The Mainland We Are Back!
We Are Back
Continuing our Shetland adventure with new horizons, ferry crossings, old stone, coastal weather, and Skyelark surveying the kingdom.
Shetland Field Gallery
New Horizons
New horizons, same regal stance. Skyelark takes in her latest domain with the confidence of a true explorer.
Brick Walls
The brick walls are there for a reason. They are not there to keep us out. They are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
Morning Mist and Lerwick Luxuries
A day trip to Shetland’s hub, where Tesco and a cozy coffee shop feel like pure indulgence for Sarah, Skyelark, and me. Simple joys in island life.
Coming Attractions
Adventure awaits. Fair Isle expedition, one road, one legendary bull, and three travelers on the move. Meet Carlos, the island’s unexpected icon. Croft house chronicles, thick stone walls, tiny doors, and one tall explorer navigating historic Shetland design. Skyelark’s new kingdom, from humble chicken coop to battleship-grey fortress.
Screen to Shore
Resting on the famous wall of Jimmy Perez’s home, with Shetland’s winds carrying stories from screen to shore.
Almost Home
Sailing into Shetland’s heart, watching the neighboring isles drift past as the NorthLink ferry glides toward Lerwick. Almost home.
Lerwick Awaits
Setting sail from Aberdeen, the NorthLink ferry charting its course through the night. Lerwick waits on the horizon.
Coastal Path
Coastal path adventures, returning to the slow grammar of rock, weather, ferry, road, and sea.
The Mainland Feels Different Now
Shetland changes the meaning of ordinary. A supermarket becomes a luxury. A coffee shop becomes a checkpoint. A ferry crossing becomes a threshold. And a small dog looking out across new ground becomes the whole story in miniature.
