Posted @withregram • @keepersofthelightplay A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors at @northlink_ferries for bringing us safely to port in Stromness.
What an evening for it too, with the sun casting its golden smile across the Hoy hills, ready to welcome us into the cobbled streets of writer and director Izzy's home town.
Join us at the Stromness Town Hall tomorrow, Saturday 21st May, at 7pm. Tickets still available through Eventbrite and on the door!

Posted @withregram • @shetlandwithlaurie 🙌 Hands up if you enjoy watching the Shetland TV show?
If so, you might recognise this house as the fictional home of Magnus Bain from season One.
📍This is the Hillend that sits just off the road to Eshaness and overlooks the Ness of Hillswick. It's a bit of a 'fixer-upper!’

A weekend well spent on Noss NNR photographing puffins and the yet to be identified pod of orca. I'm feeling incredibly grateful to have places like Noss on my doorstep, it's a dream come true!

Posted @withregram • @gaming_birder Stunning day out on Unst with my first @heatherleabirds trip since 2019!
We may have had thousands of gannets and puffins at our feet, but getting to see this wee flower is always a highlight for me!
