Default Visiting Shetland

Hi,

I am visiting the Shetland Islands the week after next and was looking for some good sites to get some photos. Any recommendations.

Cheers,

Craig.

Not been myself to Shetland but I'm sure the locals will be only too obliging to help you out.

Keep promising myself to go one day.
