 I'm asking for your help in discovering where these photos and films were made on the Shetland Islands. Please contact me via You Tube if you have even a thought of where any of them were made. Thank you very much for your help and your time! IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, I WILL REMOVE THIS POST TO CREATE A NEW ONE WITH UPDATED INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR HELP! 1513 views |

 When 1000's of homes have no power on the islands this is what we do on Christmas day, every year! www.bbc.co.uk www.scotsman.com 2221 views |
 Fishing in Shetland is something special. A couple of mates and I went up for a Kayaking trip but were lucky enough to get taken out on a Commercial Boat to get amongst some of the monster fish. The highlights included a PB for all of us for Cod, Coalie and Ling and a possible Scottish record for Stevie for Torsk. The fishing and scenery were amazing but the thing that will be remembered most is the people. Shetlanders are a breed apart - hardy, hard working, strong, friendly, hospitable and generous. They have a cold climate but there is much warmth on the islands. Thanks to the Skipper for taking us out and everyone else for helping and making us feel welcome. Three days on and the fatigue and weary muscles are starting to abide but fortunately the memories will last forever. 5318 views |
Shetland
While full-on cave diving remains the preserve of an elite few in the UK, the sea caves of Shetland offer a chance to experience cave exploration in safer circumstances.

Many of the islands are composed of sedimentary rock, into which the sea has eroded deep cuts ideal for diver exploration. Some have air spaces, so you can surface to chat with your buddy.
Visibility is normally excellent around Shetland, and the caves are no exception, with 15–20m clarity the norm. Most of the caves have smooth walls devoid of life, but you do see a lot of squat lobsters and there’s also a good chance of running into a grey seal deep inside. The caves around the southern tip of Bressay contain lumps of wreckage that have been swept inside and jammed against the rock over the years.
There are many unmapped caverns across Shetland, and I have visited a few on the northernmost island of Unst that feature a choice of routes. While these are hardly maze-like, explorers should bring sufficient line so that they can retrace their route with ease. The few liveaboards that make the journey from Orkney to Shetland each summer get booked up early (Bob Anderson’s MV Halton looked after me on my visit), so book ahead.
