Foula celebrates Auld New Year on 13 January, in line with the Julian calendar. Foula lies 20 miles west of the Shetland Mainland, covers five square miles and has five distinctive peaks, including one of the highest sheer sea cliffs in Britain – Da Kame (1,233ft). Let's take a closer look at📍Foula, the most westerly Shetland Island often described as 'the edge of the world'🌍 #InspiredbyShetland #visitshetland #shetlandislands #shetlandphotography #shetlandlife #promoteshetland #shetland #instashetland #shetlandisles #everythingshetland #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #wanderseekexplore #waterandlight #ycw2021 #scottishislands #unlimitedscotland #hiddenscotland #outandaboutscotland #ukcoastline #ScotlandsBeauty #InstaScotland #IGersScotland #vsShetland #scottishwinter #coastalphotography #coastalviews #foula
Winter storms mean we do need to tie down the trampoline and wheelie bins, but they also make for excellent wave watching opportunities, and it's not unusual to see several intrepid photographers watching the wildest of our coastlines for the opportunity to get that perfect stormy picture. 💨 Here's the view at the Sletts, Lerwick earlier in the week.

What's a Shetland winter like? 💬 "Winter can be very dramatic, and, during a storm, the waves crashing up the rock face of Bluemull is truly awesome. One of my all-time favourite days was walking to Breckon on Christmas Day, maybe ten years ago, with thick snow lying, the sun shining, and the whole of Shetland just glistening. Ours were the only footprints on the whole beach. Bliss!" 📸 @shona.skinner 📍 Yell, Shetland #️⃣ #ShetlandTrueNorth Take a closer look at Shetland in winter via our link in bio. #InspiredbyShetland #visitshetland #shetlandislands #winterbreak #shetlandphotography #shetlandlife #promoteshetland #shetland #instashetland #shetlandisles #everythingshetland #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #wanderseekexplore #waterandlight #ycw2021 #ys2022 #scottishislands #unlimitedscotland #hiddenscotland #outandaboutscotland #ukcoastline #ScotlandsBeauty #InstaScotland #IGersScotland #vsShetland #scottishwinter #shetlandponies
Take an imaginary trip in the replica Viking longship 'Skidbladner' in Unst, Shetland📍 A full size replica of the Gokstad ship found in a Viking burial mound in Norway in 1880. The original ship is thought to have been built during the reign of Harald Fairhar, who is said to have landed in Unst, and after whom the bay of Haroldswick is named.
