St Ninians
I had an afternoon free so I flew down to St Ninian’s Isle.
Ever since I arrived in Shetland people have been telling me about St Ninian’s and expressing their amazement that I still hadn’t been. Now I know why. It is a spectacular tombola; a double sided beach that joins an island to the mainland. Apparently it is one of the best examples of a tombola in the world.
While walking across the beach, a kayaker approached the shore, got out of his kayak and dragged it across the beach, then got in it on the other side and rode away! There can’t be many places where you can do that.
