Heading to Shetlands in July. Can’t wait. Great info thanks

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy Shetland, I surely did 😁🤙

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Many Norsemen been exploring Shetland in the past, and a safe haven in WW2. Lovely place, nice ruins, wild cliffs and rough seas. Lovely time laps. Nice video and sharing.

I went to Shetland in September 2020 and I visited the same place. I remember getting the bus to Papil and thinking I was at the end of the earth. I walked across that exact beach and solo wild camped on that green grass on the other side, only a few metres from the water. I also walked to the end of the peninsula in the cloud and rain and I agree with what you said.. there's incredible cliffs around every corner, especially on the west side. I remember all the seals, birds and lots of rabbits. This videos brings back memories. Interesting to see it in clear sunny weather, as it was very cloudy and wet when I went there. Cheers.

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Glad you liked the video! I hope I can return to Shetland sometime and do a bit more exploring, as it left quite an impression.

[@rory_scott]

@@zoltanaroundtheglobe I felt the same. I only went there once and I've felt a strong urge to go back. It's a lot bigger than I expected and has a lot to offer. I spent a busy week there exploring and never even made it to Unst or Yell.

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

We were in a similar situation, had only one week to explore the entire archipelago. Managed to go up to Yell and Unst but we had to pick and choose carefully when it came to where to go and what to do.

My ex girlfriend was from Papil and i loved visiting this beach and staying there. Definitely a beautiful spot.

[@gordonbradley3241]

I lived there for years. You neatly managed to miss the most interesting bits !

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

The results of no planing and time limitations I guess, hopefully will be back sometime and manage to see those interesting bits 😁Thanks for watching!

[@Pilot1806]

Travelled to Shetland 18 years ago and fitted the lift in the Toll Clock Shopping Centre in Lerwick. Fell in love with the place so much that we are currently in the process of selling up here in Hampshire and moving up.

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Sounds like a reasonable plan 😁 the place is amazing!

[@andreapascoli6945]

Thank you

[@robinsmith5442]

My great grandma's Slater/Pottinger family came from there. A family story is that they were going by rowboat to Scalloway and had to use a shoe to bail as they were taking on water. They came to America around 1862 or 3 but I understand how rough things may have been then.

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Thanks for watching and sharing your family's story 🙂

[@loganpollock1689]

An old friend from school lived in one of those stone houses for twenty years. There was a stone wall and the bones of people that died in the 14th and fifteenth century would emerge from the ground. He just laid the bones next to the wall. Nobody bothered with the ancient dead.

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Wow that's a great story! Thanks for watching!

[@andreapascoli6945]

Please, in what month have you visited Shetland? Thank you

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

It was October, thanks for watching 👍

[@robertianjohnston7483]

May is usually the best month to visit (in my opinion) I lived there for 10 years and always enjoyed😮 May - lighter nights, new life everywhere. I would love to say it was getting warmer , but that wouldn’t be true😁

[@RenySI5]

Banna Minn beach - I think this is the same beach than the series Shetland was filmed (season 4). Just beautiful!

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Didn't see the series, have to look into it! It is beautiful though...

[@HurricaneHektor]

Where are all the trees??? :O (I'm Scot and Korean, my ancestral genetics can be traced to the Highlands. It's def on my bucket list to visit there one day! Thanks for the beautiful views!) :D :D :D

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Thanks for watching! 😁The trees were probably chopped down a long time ago.

[@hilltopgirl2665]

Gosh, even the sheep are lonely

[@boubakeurreguieg165]

Beautiful place to explore there is boat to explore Norway to

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Norway is on my list 😁

[@hannahtattoo]

The sheep on the island 😂😂

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

...poor thing, can't imagine how it got up there 😅

[@Ida-Adriana]

De unde esti? Beautiful video!

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Mersi!😁 Original din Transilvania, România.

[@Ida-Adriana]

@@zoltanaroundtheglobe Ah very cool, I’m also from Transylvania but also many other places I had to live in

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Same here ...

[@Ida-Adriana]

@@zoltanaroundtheglobe Where do you live now? I’m in Cornwall but trying to move to maybe Shetland

[@Ida-Adriana]

@@zoltanaroundtheglobe Unde erai in Transilvania? Eu eram din Brasov (si Galati) dar Mama mea era in Viscri. Noi am locuit in Botswana si South Africa for a while.

Wonderful to see & explore; but to a BC'er the heavy logging over centuries make it soo barren seeming. W with sea water rising amidst the unfettered global warming I'd say it's high time you folks organized to protect that you have along the seas... the remaining abandoned buildings could be used for protecting that beautiful area at least somewhat. I see the solid stone frames & think I could live there & why wouldn't you want to revive & revise these ancient remains. Beautiful part of creators creations that reminds me of Haida Gwaii but with it's sky tall Spruce & Cedar rainforest, deep mosses & huge ferns that's where I feel embraced most.

[@ТатьянаФедяева-к1э]

From Estonia, beautiful sankju.

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Thanks for watching 🤙😁

[@Trollberg60north]

Lovely video but we are not part of Scotland. The place-name Kettla Ness comes from the Norse man's name Kettle. Kettle's ness(headland).

[@zoltanaroundtheglobe]

Thanks for the info & appreciate for watching 😁

[@jonesmckeen425]

not part of scotland?..dummie

[@haggispixie]

Shetland is in Scotland and has been since 1472. The Picts lived here long before the Viking slavers wiped them out/enslaved them and their ruins reside here to this day.

[@Trollberg60north]

@@haggispixie We're ruled by Scotland(incl elections) but there is no legal document or treaty in place that makes us part of Scotland. I think if we were offered a vote for Home Rule or even a return to Norwegian Rule we would grab it.
