    Don't know where you are getting your information from but the Twelve Apostles at Catacol were built in the mid-1800s as Clearance homes not for sheep, but for deer hunting. Catacol farm was originally built as a hunting lodge and the then Laird did not want the villagers disturbing his guests coming and going to the original village, which was up the hill beyond the lodge; nothing to do with spoiling his view. Also, no mention of each cottage having a different shaped front gable window (or supposedly why), or the Barking Shed at the mouth of the burn.

      Thanks for this. I'm not sure where you can buy the CD 'The Authentic Sound of Shetland' from which the music in the Unst videos is taken, but I was given my copy at the Tourist Information Centre in Lerwick. The poem 'Relax sit here a peerie while' is inscribed on the bench overlooking Skaw Bay - I don't know who the author is.
