Tombolo's and Sea Cliffs, a fine walk around St Ninians Isle

Vlog:

A final few hours to kill before getting the last flight back to Aberdeen and I headed to a damp St Ninian Isle. TBH I hadnt been expecting much from Shetland , mainly due to my misconception that its landscapes were bleak, treeless,windswept moors - how wrong was I! As I made my way to the Isle a report came on the radio to say Shetland had been voted the 6th best location to visit by lonely planet! After last night trip to The Lang Ayre and today's trip to St Ninians, I can see why - what a stunning landscape and definitely somewhere I I'll visit again (with more time!)
