The Shetland Isles

I'm a troll fol-de-rol..... waved to us from the waterfall and we slipped away from the Norwegian coast and out to sea.....


'Ocean Countess' called in at Lerwick where we were all impressed by the early morning, personal greeting - a handshake to each of us- and a young piper piped us ashore.



Shetland was treeless but of course had ponies!......and wild flowerfilled meadows.



Being potential TimeTeamers we were there to see the archaeology; Neolithic through Bronze Age brochs and Iron Age round houses, Viking remains through to 17th century lairds' castles were all clearly evident and well maintained.
