Got asked on my Timtok to speak Shetland with no subtitles after someone told me Shetland dialect is just 'Lowland Scots'

@LifeAfloat My advice would be to do it before July, as the bracken gets crazy high and is infested with ticks! It's an incredible walk - tough going but easy navigation, not too many river crossings. There are 3 stunning bothies to rest in too. My number one walk so far!

[Jack Capener @jack_capener]
