Northmavine, Shetland part 2 - Eshaness Cliffs
The views are one of the main reason for people to travel to Shetland and indeed the views in Eshaness are fantastic!
Northmavine, Shetland part 1
These photos are from Mavis Grind, the small bit of land that connects Northmavine to Mainland Shetland - without which NM would be an island... but as it stands, it is not
People in Northmavine have been developing the area lately and trying to attract more tourists there too. Part of this is the 'geology wall', which introduces the different types of stones found in Northmavine - among them the most oldest one in Shetland!
This is Mavis Grind from a hill - on the rigth hand side it's Atlantic, on the left hand side it's the North Sea! (In 'olden times' people used to carry their boats over the small bit of land to get a shortcut!)

My wheel!
So, I'm back from Shetland now, will try to get some photos online... Here's my spinning wheel - made by Stewart on Fair Isle - he thought me to spin when I first was there in 2004, now I have a wheel of my own!
