Yell
Yell is the island in between Unst and the mainland and one of the teachers in the school, Rachel, lives on Yell, so I went to visit her on my way through.
It was a lovely afternoon and we set off for The Old Haa, a community museum in Burravoe, where I learnt all about Yell’s history and checked out the local knitwear. At least I feel I have a pretty good excuse to get really excited about the knitwear!
Following that, we went for a walk to the top of the Ness of Burravoe, which was stunning and one of the most delightful walks I have done in Shetland. The shining sun probably helped!
We went back to Rachel’s for a delicious dinner that had been slow cooking in the rayburn for hours and went for an after-dinner walk along West Sandwick beach, where we watched the sun set over the water.
A wonderful weekend.
