pickOnce again story kept me guessing to the end. Second: apparently all the houses in Shetland have names. I must name mine. Third: I need to go farther north than John O Groats. According to the Googles; it's doesn't appear that you can get to Shetland from there.
Whose been? 🚢🛫🤷

SusanInTiburon Haven‘t been up that far. We were in Dornoch last summer and all the houses had names. I‘d go again in a heartbeat. 6y
Andrew65 We go to John O‘ Groats area every year, we have a few camp sites we visit in the motorhome that you can pitch overlooking the sea and the Orkney Islands. My very favourite place. There is a foot passenger ferry from John O‘Groats to the Orkneys and they do a day trip which includes coach travel around the Orkneys visiting the Italian Chapel and The Churchill Barrier. Good on a smooth day but can get rough on a bad day. (edited) 6y
Andrew65 I don‘t think you can get a ferry from the very north of Scotland to the Shetlands but you can get Ferries to the Orkneys and I think you can then get a different Ferry to the Shetlands from there. There are car ferries to the Orkneys at Gills Bay a few miles west of John o‘groats and from Scrabster near Thurso which is about 22 miles west of John O‘Groats. I believe the only ferry to Shetland from mainland is from Aberdeen. 6y
