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!)
