6am on Sunday morning; I usually enjoy a lazy morning, but not today. . I’m going into Mousa this morning with the Mousa Boat and a coach full of passengers from the cruise ship, Hanseatic Nature. ⠀ . Looking forward to taking them for a walk around the island. ⠀... Can you spot the broch? Do you know what a broch is? ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #mousa #mousabroch #broch #ironage #hanseaticnature #archaeology #archaeologylife #archaeologylovers #prehistoric #historicscotland #ancientbritain #history #digginghistory #shetlandwithlaurie #myshetlandlife #inspiredbyshetland #visitscotland #scotlandisnow #wanderlust #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #travelmore #goexplore #wonderfulplaces #openmyworld #lovetotravel #adventurethatislife #roamtheplanet

From the Earl’s House at Jarlshof, you can enjoy some pretty commanding views - providing you’re okay to climb the spiral staircase.⠀ .⠀ This morning I have a tour to @garthscroftbressay, I hope Chris and his menagerie are ready for us 😉⠀... .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #inspiredbyshetland #60north #shetland #outandaboutscotland #gowander #exploremore #exploretocreate #explorescotland #brilliantmoments #visitscotland #theslowdowncollective #scotlandisnow #thisisscotland #scotspirit #lifeofadventure #ig_scot #shetlandwithlaurie #myshetlandlife #thewildnesstonic #everydaylifeoutdoors #holdthemoment #stayandwander #folktravel #somewhereinscotland #postcardsfromtheworld #outandaboutscotland #simplyscotland #jarlshof #archaeology #goodmorning

If you see the Unken Wagen, stop and sample the amazing coffee and cake!

My friends over NorthLink Ferries have shared this blog post I wrote about the Storm Petrel trip with The Mousa Boat. Heading to Shetland this summer? Add this to your bucket list!
Have a great weekend!

I love this glacial erratic on St Ninian’s Isle - it really does stand out like a sore thumb in the landscape. This massive lump of quartz was probably dumped here by the last Ice Age that passed through, about 10,000 years ago.⠀ .⠀ It certainly makes a good photo stop!⠀ .⠀ .⠀... .⠀ #glacialerratic #erratic #quartz #geology #geologyrocks #rocks #sticksandstones #nationalgeopark #geopark #inspiredbyshetland #60north #shetland #outandaboutscotland #explorescotland #visitscotland #scotlandisnow #thisisscotland #scotspirit #lifeofadventure #ig_scot #shetlandwithlaurie #myshetlandlife #thewildnesstonic #everydaylifeoutdoors #stayandwander #folktravel #somewhereinscotland #postcardsfromtheworld #outandaboutscotland #simplyscotland

I had a lovely day yesterday with Kathleen and Daniel from Canada 🇨🇦. Bumping into Les from Roundabout Shetland at the Crofthouse Museum was definitely the highlight though 😉

Step back in time at the Crofthouse Museum.⠀ .⠀ ✔️ thatched roof⠀ ✔️ peat fire ⠀ ✔️ atmosphere in abundance ⠀... .⠀ It was nice to escape the snow yesterday (yes, snow), and warm up by the fire, can you see the snowflakes in this photo?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #crofthousemuseum #traditionalhouse #thatchedcottage #thatchedhouse #thatching ⠀ #inspiredbyshetland #60north #shetland #outandaboutscotland #gowander #exploremore #exploretocreate #explorescotland #brilliantmoments #visitscotland #theslowdowncollective #scotlandisnow #thisisscotland #scotspirit #lifeofadventure #ig_scot #shetlandwithlaurie #myshetlandlife #everydaylifeoutdoors #stayandwander #folktravel #somewhereinscotland #postcardsfromtheworld #outandaboutscotland #simplyscotland

A pile of old stones, or the key to the past?⠀ •⠀ Yesterday we were back at my favourite place to guide - Jarlshof. I love guiding here, there is so much history to discover and we can think about 5,000 years of human history in Shetland. 🤓 I love seeing people’s reactions to this fascinating multi-period site.⠀ •⠀ •⠀... •⠀ #archaeology #archaeologylife #archaeologylovers #prehistoric #historicscotland #ancientbritain #history #digginghistory #inspiredbyshetland #60north #shetland #outandaboutscotland #explorescotland #brilliantmoments #visitscotland #theslowdowncollective #scotlandisnow #thisisscotland #scotspirit #lifeofadventure #ig_scot #shetlandwithlaurie #myshetlandlife #thewildnesstonic #everydaylifeoutdoors #folktravel #somewhereinscotland #postcardsfromtheworld #outandaboutscotland #simplyscotland
