A midsummer sunrise and sunset looking towards the Muckle Flugga lighthouse at the very north of Unst, Shetland. You're looking at the very top of the UK! Here, there are almost 19 hours of daylight at midsummer. 📹Watch the video to see how doesnt ever get dark overnight, the light just dims - the simmer dim!

Shetland’s wildlife and rugged scenery proved a big draw for Manx woman Jackie Darbyshire and her family, who have swapped one island community for another. After spending five holidays in Shetland Jackie Darbyshire and husband Adrian jumped at the chance to relocate when she got a job with The Shetland Times. They made the move north with their then 10-month-old daughter Ella from the Isle of Man in May 2021. Head to our link in bio to read their story. #ShetlandTrueNorth #60north #shetlandphotography #shetlandlife #promoteshetland #shetland #myshetlandlife #instashetland #whatshetlandmeanstome #visitshetland #shetlandersofinstagram #shetlandislands #shetlandisles #everythingshetland #inspiredbyshetland
