Shetland photos.

That's good to know.

 

I agree.. interesting stuff and I didn’t even know they were there (got confused with the South Sandwich Is)
So thanks again @JEFF JOHNSON

There are even some South Orkney Islands, and both groups are nearly in the same latitude South, as their namesakes are in the North !

 

You are welcome and here is a short video about the South Orkney islands.

 

This travel video is a bit different and hopefully it will be of interest.

 

This video shows some of our wild birds.

This short film shows part of the now late Queen's visit to Shetland in 1960.
A very young version of myself was somewhere in the crowd and I do recall that day.

 

This short film shows more of that Royal visit and also includes some footage from the Orkney visit.

 

This link shows some images of Shetland and there is a traditional fiddle tune too.

The shawls video is really amazing! Especially the "wedding ring" test at the end is a jaw dropper!

 

Hello Wim, yes, it's an impressive test.

The most famos of the Shetland are the ponies.Every child in Germany knows the Shetland ponies but without knowing where the Shetland Islands are.

 

Perhaps they will enjoy this short video and yes it has been posted before. Reinhard
