🗑 You'll see 'Dunna Chuck Bruck' (don't throw rubbish) road signs around Shetland. ⁠ ⁠ For over forty years, Shetland has been a leading example of environmental and anti-litter campaigns - including Da Voar Redd Up, a community-wide annual spring clean, as well as education programmes, recycling initiatives and environmental awards.

Hermaness national nature reserve sits at the northernmost tip of Britain. It's a place of dramatic scenery, amazing wildlife and unspoiled landscapes. It's also a delicate natural habitat which must be looked after to protect the native flora and fauna that live and breed among Hermaness's cliffs and peat moorland. New recycled plastic walkways have been installed to guide visitors around the spectacular reserve, protecting the environment while making it easier and safer to witness a truly dramatic natural spectacle. @naturescot @visitscotland #ShetlandTrueNorth #scotnature #hermaness #unst #InspiredbyShetland #visitshetland #shetlandislands #shetlandphotography #shetlandlife #promoteshetland #shetland #instashetland #shetlandisles #everythingshetland #scottishislands #unlimitedscotland #hiddenscotland #outandaboutscotland #ukcoastline #ScotlandsBeauty #InstaScotland #IGersScotland #vsShetland #coastalphotography #ukcoastline #coastalviews #seascapephotography #edgeoftheworld

Muckle Flugga lighthouse, an iconic view at the most northerly part of the british isles. ⁠ ⁠ Author Robert Louis Stevenson's father and uncle were the main design engineers for the lighthouse on Muckle Flugga (as well as the lighthouses in Whalsay, Bressay and Out Skerries).
