Beautiful place. And a lovely accent.

[@flemmingsorensen5470]

Absolutely stunning!

[@unclehamish]

I was posted to Saxa Vord in Unst from 1989-1991 and this video really makes me yearn to go back. I used to love the drive and two ferry rides from Harlodswick to Lerwick on our weekends out.

[@PaulGarthAviation]

I remember the ferry between Unst and Yell and Yell and the Mainland. When you drove up too late, the ferry would oftentimes do a U-turn and come back to pick you up.

[@rayconabeer6920]

My sister in law lives on the same place on Shetland

[@alastairmiller2715]

perfect

[@BarneyLeith]

Beautiful video. My family & I lived in Trondra in the 1970s and early 1980s. I taught at Scalloway JHS (as it was then) and then at the Anderson High School. Seeing these fabulous views and hearing a real Shetland voice brings back so many memories. I used to drive across the Trondra brig daily on my way to and from work, visiting friends...

[@PromoteShetland]

Ah that's lovely to hear, you'll have travelled this road many times :)

[@PaulGarthAviation]

My Mom (Bonita Beach) taught drama at Anderson 1978/9 and I went to Dunrossness. Remember Roger Wildman? He taught me violin -- well... attempted to teach me violin.

[@lindaking9222]

Shetland seems to have a strong sense of community..lovely place..been there

[@c0v3n4n7]

This is perfection.

[@sweatdreams8238]

I went to Shetland in November, two years ago. The feeling of this video really captures the place. Ethereal and peaceful.

[@connorjackson4083]

I live hear in burra

[@kirkanderson1353]

Lovely,...

[@dijause]

I love the accent! It's like how we Indonesians speak English, the "R" and "T" are clearly pronounced.

[@kayneel2509]

My dog is from here !💕😘😘👍

[@chrisraezer3988]

Beautiful video. Funny how I feel homesick for a place I've only visited twice. It won't take many more of these videos to bring on trip number three to put down permanent roots.

[@kathleenanderson1499]

I felt the same when I was there 7 years ago when I came home I was so home sick for the place my parents were born so peaceful and the wildlife is amazing 💕👍

[@johnridpeath1728]

Looks fantastic

[@connorjackson4083]

You should come to burra in the start of the video I live there

[@horsegal98]

My dream to come and live here! Hope they’d appreciate an Aussie teacher!

[@PaulGarthAviation]

When I lived there (1978/9), I remember quite a few from Australia and New Zealand. I've no doubt you would be welcomed.

[@keenpaddler]

I get homesick for yell and burravoe , I would come back to Shetland tomorrow if Gordon agrees

[@foodtalk4099]

I reconise that place, i have been to all places in shetland i lived in shetland for 4 years now or 3. i still live there to that day

[@connorjackson4083]

[@emmaloo1638]

What's it like I have 4 boys an mi be doing a home swap to shetland frm West Yorkshire

[@ulfurkarlsson5885]

Im from Iceland, and im told that in Shetland Dialect there are some words simular to Icelandic, is it true ?

[@ursulajimeni9013]

Shetland has a very Norse influence, and they say Icelandic is one of the closest modern languages to Norse, so I’d say you’re correct.

[@petersmith9530]

i have heard the same

[@HighTen_Melanie]

Lovely place. Must feel very isolated at times.

[@connorjackson4083]

Nope we don't want any part of the mainland down here we love the isloslation
