The main doorway from the replica Norse longhouse at Haroldswick on Unst in Shetland. The island has the remains of at least 60 medieval Norse longhouses, many still un-excavated. 📸 My own. #Woodensday #Unst #Shetland

A short video of the nursery pod of Bottlenose Dolphins in Vidlin Voe, Shetland yesterday. Check out some of those tiny calves! Only the fourth confirmed record of this species in Shetland waters.
