Ramna Vord or Sandness Hill?
And no, I have never been on Shetland, Most northerly point in Scotland was Skara Brae:)

I think you are looking west in the image, but I might be erring :)

I think our lack of knowledge of Shetland has stunned Caberfeidh into silence.

Are we on the Isle of Vementry and is that one of the heel shaped cairn chambers?

If 'Hoy' is a clue then I suppose it might be Yell, but I have no idea where :)

At last we're getting somewhere! Sorry about the delay, I had to fly from Sullom Voe to Aberdeen, drive from Aberdeen to Glasgow, rest for a couple of nights then drive all the way back North to the beauties of Sutherland for a fishing trip with some no-good hoodlum friends of mine. Anyhoo, I think we had better give that one to nigheandonn ; it is the Sound of Yell from Crooksetter Hill, site of a couple of ancient burial mounds.

I'm not sure I deserve it! Lovely photo, though.

Which famous feature has this colourful wall nearby?
