A wild and windy weekend in Shetland means scenes like these, and hardy folks out capturing them! 📸 Dore Holm, Eshaness - @alan_leask Scatness, Virkie - @shetlandruthie Eshaness - @kennysnikon Hams O' Muckle Roe - @crull3k_ Sumburgh Head & Lighthouse - @briangray1000 Stormy seas - @theshetlandwife #RediscoverShetland #IslandsOfOpportunity
Last weekend, there were sightings of three orca pods around the Shetland coastline. Here's hoping for more of the same! This is the 27s pod (named from the ID of the matriarch) passing Outrabister along the Lunna peninsula in the North Mainland of Shetland. Find out more about the wildlife you might capture (on camera!), just follow our link in bio. 📸 @shetlandwildlife #IslandsOfOpportunity

Not today's stormy seas in Shetland, but not far from it! A wet and windy day and we hear there's snowy showers forecast over the next day or two... it's a night to keep cosy afore da fire! 🔥 📸 @swg__photography #RediscoverShetland 📍 Sumburgh, Shetland
A house that most certainly has a view: Da Knowe, overlooking Leog's Beach in Lerwick, Shetland. The house looks towards The Lodberries, Lerwick Harbour and across to the island of Bressay. With that added touch of Shetland quirkiness, recycling an upturned boat as a garage roof. 📸 @dave.silver #RediscoverShetland 📍 Lerwick, Shetland
The Dore Holm, with some North Atlantic orca visitors passing through. The '27's' pod have been regular visitors to Shetland over the past few weeks. 🙌 📸 @ellie_shetlandcoastline #RediscoverShetland #orca #orcas #seapanda #killerwhale #whalewatching #wildorcas #thanksbutnotanks #cetacean #orcapod #whales #60north #inspiredbyshetland #shetlandphotography #shetlandlife #promoteshetland #shetland #myshetlandlife #instashetland #explorescotland #storiesfromscotland #ig_scot #optoutside #somewhereinscotland #hiddenscotland #thewildnesstonic #thisisscotland #theslowdowncollective
