    Beautiful video. My family & I lived in Trondra in the 1970s and early 1980s. I taught at Scalloway JHS (as it was then) and then at the Anderson High School. Seeing these fabulous views and hearing a real Shetland voice brings back so many memories. I used to drive across the Trondra brig daily on my way to and from work, visiting friends...

      My Mom (Bonita Beach) taught drama at Anderson 1978/9 and I went to Dunrossness. Remember Roger Wildman? He taught me violin -- well... attempted to teach me violin.

    I was posted to Saxa Vord in Unst from 1989-1991 and this video really makes me yearn to go back. I used to love the drive and two ferry rides from Harlodswick to Lerwick on our weekends out.

    • @PaulGarthAviation

      I remember the ferry between Unst and Yell and Yell and the Mainland. When you drove up too late, the ferry would oftentimes do a U-turn and come back to pick you up.

    I love the accent! It's like how we Indonesians speak English, the "R" and "T" are clearly pronounced.

      When I lived there (1978/9), I remember quite a few from Australia and New Zealand. I've no doubt you would be welcomed.

    Beautiful video. Funny how I feel homesick for a place I've only visited twice. It won't take many more of these videos to bring on trip number three to put down permanent roots.

    • @ursulajimeni9013
      @ursulajimeni9013 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Shetland has a very Norse influence, and they say Icelandic is one of the closest modern languages to Norse, so I’d say you’re correct.
