OUR SUMMER PHOTO COMPETITION WINNERS Congratulations to Stephen Johnson and Els Gielen for winning the public vote for our summer photo competition. Stephen won the vote with their photo of puffins. "The photo, along with many more were taken during a week spent with my parents at the sooth end (Glamping Pods) in June, the photo was taken at Sumburgh Head. Sumburgh is a magical place for seabirds, I found myself spending hours just watching the many species on show" Els photo of her son and partner from Belgium was our second most voted. "What wonderful news! We are really happy that our photo was chosen from so many images! We really enjoyed Shetland and took a lot of photos. Both nature and wildlife (puffins, gannets...) as well as photos of our family as memories. The photo was taken during a walk in Noonsbrough. We had actually planned to go to Papa Stour that day, but because we missed the boat we changed our plans for that day and we took our rental car to make a trip near Clousta and Noonsbrough with beautiful stops and lovely walks where we took some rest breaks in the purple heather. You hear it, we are fans of Shetland and its residents! #PromoteShetland #Shetland #InspiredByShetland #Shetland #VisitShetland
