Hayhoull Bed & Breakfast up and running!
|
|
Bigton has a new B+B which is called Hayhoull. There is a link on my main page next to the Shetland Diary. It is run by Les and Mary Andreas and is perfectly situated for the holiday maker who wants to spend a week in an oasis of tranquility.
For further information why don't you take a look at their website and start planning your stay in Shetland! Bigton is ideally located for tourists with St Ninian's Isle and
the sand tombolo (the longest in Europe). It is also not far from
Sumburgh Cape where the airport is and the lighthouse and one can go and
see the colonies of seabirds i.e. shags, guillemots, fulmars and the
famous puffins. You can also be lucky enough to see killer and minke
whales. Not to mention otters around the coast line. I
Bigton is also a short
trip to Shetland's capital, Lerwick, and then from there you can travel
to the west, north and south on the A970 to the islands of Shetland, the
two dominant ones being Yell and Unst with the small isles of Whalsay,
Fetlar, Papa Stour, Foula and Fair Isle which is actually down the south
end of Shetland, from the airport.

PHOTOS AVAILABLE
Because there has been suddenly such a huge interest in my pictures I can now offer for sale photos that have been featured on my site. They will also be on sale in The Spinning Wheel in Lerwick, on the Esplanade, just next to Harry's Department store.
If there are particular photos that you would like please do contact me. Specify what size you are looking for. They run from 6x4 inchs up to poster size and I can then confirm a price to you by return. You can email me direct on matthew.lawrence9@tiscali.co.uk . Please allow up to two weeks for delivery as this is the Shetland Isles and post can on occasion be slow! Payment can be made by cheque, postal order or direct payment to my account and postage is included in the price.

More Shetland music sites
|
|
Readers of my diary have been asking for more stuff about Shetland music and local musicians. Well I have put a link on for Malachy Tallack's website, he is a young musician who lives in Fair Isle and will be editing Shetland Life - a monthly magazine for Shetlanders and those abroad who keep close links with Shetland. His music is the feature for this month on the Diary page. He is very kindly sending me his latest CD so I will be able to put some more tracks on for those of you who enjoy Shetland's musical talents so much. See his site as it also features lots of links to other Shetland musicians' websites like Rock, Salt and Nails, Catriona McDonald, Jenna Reid and much more. http://www.malachytallack.com/Shoormal have released a new album this year through Greentrax Records. Their tour down South was by all accounts a resounding success. For more information check out their website. See the link on my home page. There is also new website called Zetcast ( http://www.zetcast.com) which is a not-for-profit collective administered by Shetlanders which apart from being a source for our community also promotes our culture, the music and arts to the rest of the world. So take a look and tell all your friends about it!
