Good to see a beautiful tall ship in #Lerwick Harbour today, the "Sorlandet" from Norway. #Shetland

Having a look at X for the first time in months, seeing who is on here. Had lost interest in the platform for a while. Just discovered tweets can now be 280 characters, how long has that been the case?

I was delighted to be asked to take part in this video by @PromoteShetland by showing @katehumble around the Jarlshof archaeological site. 5000+ years of human history on one spot! #Shetland #jarlshof #visitshetland

@Kayaker9070 That's great! Often see #puffins on the water around St. Ninian's Isle. At this time of year they might be young adults not yet breeding. #Shetland #seabirds

A very enjoyable tour today, thank you Karen for your kind comments. #Shetland #islandtrailsshetland

[Karen Fell @kayaker0711]

My partner and I had an awesome first day in Shetland, guided tour of the south with @Island_Trails, including St Ninian’s Isle, MY FIRST PUFFINS and Jarlshoff prehistoric and Norse settlement 😀

@Kayaker9070 Thanks for the link Robin, I will be sure to check out this podcast from #shetland. Great to meet you both and to show you around today.

So glad to hear that the Croft House Museum will be open again this year, it is a favourite stop on my South Mainland Tour. #Shetland #crofthouse

[Promote Shetland @PromoteShetland]

See the peat fire lit and hear about traditional crofting life in the 1870s from experienced custodians at the Shetland Crofthouse Museum.

Now open for 2022, book a visit at: https://t.co/tHALtW6GUc

Spring is in the air and my thoughts are turning to running day tours again. 2021 was private tours only, intending to do small group tours again for 2022 covid permitting. My season starts mid May after our lambing! #Shetland #VisitScotland #Tours @VisitScotNews
