- Unst is Britain's most northerly inhabited island. In this first of three videos, we visit some of its 'northerlies', and see something of Unst's magnificent scenery, including the desert-like Keen of Hamar and Hermaness National Nature Reserve.
Music from the CD 'The Authentic Sound of Shetland'

I lived on Unst for 18 months whilst serving in the RAF, the best posting I ever had and returned in 1979 to visit friends.
What a beautiful paradise ❤
I have really enjoyed your series on Unst and the Viking history film. I am spending a few nights in Unst this week and have found your films an excellent introduction for my own visit. I have subscribed and look forward to watching more of your films.
About ten years ago we spent a week on Shetland and from there made our way onto Unst. I drove our car to the far northern tip and had many fine, although short walks around the coasts of Unst. I remembered some of the sights from your lovely video. The most memorable place was that remarkable bus stop, the finest in the kingdom ! Unst is an unique, enchanting and rather special island and I so pleased that it also has a thriving community. Long may that continue !
A British person told me decades ago that the farther north one goes in the British Isles the friendlier the people become. There are exceptions, but to me that viewpoint is correct :)
A Beautiful place and awesome video👍❤
Just spent a wonderful week on the island and totally fell in love with the island 👌🏾
Awesome wee doco series mate. I watched all three & was inspired... Thanks for this fine piece of work, cheers...
Many thanks for your kind comment. Glad you enjoyed our videos.
Great video. Heading out end of July 2024
People on the islands are always living a life better than us in the cities or suburbs - same goes here in Greece
Thanks for sharing! Subscribe
Not a drinker per se, but disappointed that Unst doesn't have a pub. Can't wait to bring my family to Unst to visit our Sinclair heritage!
You will be pleased to know that there is now a community bar on Unst, the Balta Light, which is open usually Wednesdays to Sundays.
BYOB
Lovely memories of Norwich and Unst in general. Way back in 2013 when on holiday. Greetings from Malta. Beautiful TH-cam too. Thanks
Thank you for your lovely video.... We will be visiting!
Thank you so much! Lovely island!
We visited Shetland in 2019... it was a great and unique journey 🌺👍🏻🏴
Beautiful place!
It looks beautiful but chilly!
Being trying to find out who narrated these videos... she's wonderful!
So lovely found your video, I just came back from there a week. It was on my bucket list, and a heaven on earth place. ll be coming back again. I always have this question still in my mind that has been unanswered - where do people buy their food and groceries?
Thanks, L J - glad you found my Shetland videos. We have just returned again from a fortnight in Shetland so I will be uploading more videos on the islands.
To answer your question - no problem for people to buy food and groceries - there are two supermarkets in Lerwick, and many communities have a shop. On Unst there are three shops selling groceries which are always well stocked. People on the smaller islands can order groceries online or by phone and have them delivered on the ferries.
Please keep up the good work.
Fantastic video
brilliant video ,
The most Northerly bus stop is actually the one by Norwick beach :-)
So miss Shetland. Went in 2008
Super music

and UK's most northern radar station and new satellite launch site!
Please, in what month have you visited Shetland? Thank you
This video was filmed in May, but we have also visited Shetland in June.
Lovely vid, but have to say, Unst is a god forsaken place I crew changed through there for years from offshore and its nasty.
Could you tell us more about the bus shelter please? Why does the model bird have ‘Pankhurst’ on the banner he is wearing?
Thanks Linda for this. This bus shelter near Baltasound is called 'Bobby's Bus Shelter' because over 20 years ago, six year old Bobby MacAulay and his friends decided to save the tumbledown shelter where they would be out of the wind and rain while waiting for their school bus. A new bus shelter was erected, and people started putting all sorts of items in it like sofas, cushions and carpets, and each year there would be a particular theme. When we visited, the theme was the Centenary of Women's Suffrage in the UK, one of the leaders of which was Emmeline Pankhurst - hence the name on the puffin's banner.
@@philmorr thanks for the explanation!
When I eventually get to Shetland I’ll definitely visit the bus shelter!!!
Pretty much Britain’s most northerly everything then
Shetland no ISlands needs a mention as its all Shetland
Please, someone, plant some trees!
Cigarettes.
Bet you can leave your front door open and keys in your car ignition here
