Thank you! Thank you so much! It's your other video featuring 2 of the songs by The Revellers that I have watched over & over ...& Over making this story one more educational and ever so fun feather in my cap (so to speak!😄) I am an older woman but I will make an adventure to Shetland as soon as I can! Shetland is my dream in the near-ish future, learning about Scotland and her past my present and You my friend from afar will be the first to get a hold of as soon as it all comes together! (and maybe I can enjoy The Revellers in person🎶) In the meantime keep on keeping on and I'll see you in your next adventure video!! ✌️

We're new fans of Adventure Shetland! My husband and I spent a day in Shetland with Jon touring some of these sites, and it was the highlight of our 14-day cruise. Jon is so knowledgable about these archeological sites, absolutely amazing. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather, and saw puffins and seals, not to mention the ubiquitous sheep and of course, shetland ponies. Loved it! Can't wait to return for a longer stay. Thank you, Jon!

This was a wonderful video, loved it. After doing a DNA test recently I learned 66 % of my heritage is Scottish and from Orkney and Shetland. Growing up in the 60's with Nova Scotia Scottish Grand and Great Grand parents I alway knew I had a Scottish Heritage but finding out it was the northern isles was exciting, For know videos like yours is as close as I can get to the real thing for now.

@@adventure.shetland Good to hear that. We have been up to Calder’s in the breeding season many times since aprox 1993. Last time 2023. At one time we walked south down to The Bruddens to sing and recite poetry to the seals. But one year used cartridge’s had ended up in crevices on the edge of the cliff. The seal numbers didn’t recover. So after about three years we stayed around the lighthouse area.

great to hear these stories told by you.. thank you! I visited that house between 1978 and 1980 with my dad and his workmates.. they were building the power station in Lerwick and had a day off.. we were in the house up and down the stairs.. some even were on the roof (it was on at that time) and in and out the rooms on the bright sunny day. Lots of photos were taken by various people at the time too.. only when we got back to the power station one of the locals said we shouldn't have gone there as it's haunted to which we poo pooed.. only not one single photo turned out that was taken there!! I actually only found out what the house was called today!!! hence why I was able to see this video.. amazing! The new owners must be bonkers to buy that.. with all it's history!
