🌊 Shetlanders have warmly embraced a touch of Scandinavian cultural wellbeing thanks to the introduction of an outdoor sauna next to the islands’ famous tombolo beach at St Ninian’s Isle. A sauna installed inside a slickly converted horse box has been stationed next to the pristine white sands at St Ninian's Ayre since October 2023. It offers locals and tourists alike the chance to sample hot-and-cold therapy by combining a deep heat steam with a dip in the icy cold Atlantic Ocean.
