I think the British Isles. Have same of the most breath taking views in the world. We don't appreciate the beauty of our islands enough in the UK. Love your videos
100% Well said! I genuinely think the UK is one of the most beautiful places we've traveled to! (Apologies for the delayed response - turns out RUclips had hidden all of the comments on Shetland and not notified me!)
Just got back home from 5 weeks on Unst its an amazing place, i visit twice a year,,heading back up in September when you can see the aurora Borealis most nights
We're heading to Scotland for the winter with that same aim - it would be amazing to see the Aurora on UK turf! (Apologies for the delayed response - turns out RUclips had hidden all of the comments on Shetland and not notified me!)
I am watching now. Nice video. Brings back memories when I went 5 years ago for my 40th looking for Orcas. I also went to Orkney last august and skye. Another awesome holiday. Glencoe was nice in 2021 as well. St ninians beach. Did you guys spell it right tho? X wish we could go Scotland again but we've havd border terrier pups they are 8 weeks this week so can't go anywhere yet.
Did you manage to see Orcas? It's on our bucket list! No joy in Orkney either. But just means we'll have to go back again! Hope the Border pups aren't causing too much trouble now, Frank was quite mischievous at that age! (Apologies for the delayed response - turns out RUclips had hidden all of the comments on Shetland and not notified me!)
Haha - so many wonderfully quirky names in Shetland and throughout the UK! Thanks for commenting :)! (Apologies for the delayed response - turns out RUclips had hidden all of the comments on Shetland and not notified me!)
Hiya both. Just found you and subbed. How easy was it to travel on the ferry with Frank? We want to do it with our two collies, Nab and Bay next year. Also, whats the minimum amount of time you think we should allow to see a good chunk of the Shetlands? Keith only gets a max of two weeks holiday off work at one go but we are trying to persuade his boss to let him tag two weeks of unpaid leave on top of it. Thanks.
Hey! Apologies for the delayed response. It was OK for Frank. We booked a dog cabin 3 months in advance. He can't go anywhere else apart from the cabin and the deck. But that worked for us as it was only an overnight ferry. There are kennel options too. But I think they're quite standard/no thrills. Re. Timings - we spent about a week and a half there, which felt like a good amount of time to see the main sights. Although I'm sure if you had longer you could see and do even more, particularly if you want to try and see the Orcas. We just missed them! The Internet is really quick on the island, if remote working is an option!
Just watched your video - fabulous. Thank you for sharing. Can you tell me what month you were there? We are planning a trip in our motorhome next spring/summer. Will carry on and watch your other videos!
Thanks for watching Lizzie! We went over mid-May, it was a good time to visit I think, although classically a few weeks after that (in June) the Orcas returned and Shetland had some gorgeous sunny weather too, so maybe that would also be a good time to go!
Did you have any issues parking overnight? Going next week, haven’t booked any sites (yet) if needed. I have 3wks so probably will Need to top up and empty etc.
We had no issues and didn't book anywhere, as usual just behave like a responsible campervanner, and spend locally and they didn't mind 👌 it's a beautiful, remote place and even in August I think it's still relatively quiet! There were also a decent amount of dump and refill points, atleast on the main island which we used for a small fee or as an overnight spot. We used Park4Night and Search for Sites which have all of the locations on! Enjoy!
Awesome! hope you have/had fun in Shetland, what a place! We use Epidemic sound for music, couldn't tell you the names of the artists, but it means we can use music and monetise our vids :)!
Brilliant video, thank you. Loved Frank even more !! We are planning to go there in two weeks. How close to Muckle Flugga can we park with a 7.5 meter Motor home?
David - huge apologies we didn't get back to you! We parked in the car park for Muckle Flugga, it's about an hour or so walk, but worth it for the views, hope you enjoyed your time in Shetland if you've already been! (Apologies for the delayed response - turns out RUclips had hidden all of the comments on Shetland and not notified me!)
Thank you for your reply.We got to Muckle Flugga. This was my North Pole ! It was a hard walk, I cant walk long distance but I was so determined! Our 100kg dog pulled me up the steepest bits and it was so worth it , Unfortunately I came down quicker than I went up! I tripped on the last step and hit my face on the first step going up the other way. My wife took a picture as I lay there stunned and bleeding. The dog was not concerned either but apparently i had a sheep audience! My face has healed but I need phisiotherapy on my shoulde !! A Great trip ( no pun intended!) We would reccomend Shetland to anyone loving nature,@@TheseWildJourneys
Hi! We had a pet cabin, he was fine and comfy, we took his bed on, but he ended up in one of our beds 🤫! The ferry are super strict about where the dogs can go, and they can't go anywhere else apart from the cabins and the outdoor deck, which the cabins are next to. If you don't get a cabin, the kennels are right by the exercise deck, we didn't see what they were like inside though, but I think you can visit them whenever you want? (Although I'd double check on the website!) Hope that helps ✌️
@@TheseWildJourneys Brilliant thank you, we will only go if we can get a cabin really don't fancy using the kennels, I'll get booking! Loved the Scotland videos thank you...
@@boris_and_gracie_go_wild4660 amaazing! Hope you get some good weather, and let us know if you see any Orcas! It's one thing we missed out on - the pod didn't arrive until a few days after we left! 😭
There are lots of vlogs about the Shetland Islands but none made with such enthusiasm and love as this one. Well done.
Thanks so much! It was a dream of trip! 👌

I LOVED your video.... I was in Shetland in July /23 it was EPIC!!! So many of the same places I visited. Thank you for bringing me back again!!!!
Thanks Sheila! It's such a beautiful place isn't it, SO much wildlife and nature and a real distinctness to it!
Hello - Appreciate these videos (especially of Scotland). Thanks so much. Slainte & Cheers!
Thanks for watching Jane! More Scotland videos to follow soon ✌️!
@@TheseWildJourneys Welcome 😊
Excellent video. I would love to go there sometime.
Thank you! And we'd 100% recommend, it was an awesome week or so spent in Shetland!
Outstanding awesome beautiful journey, adventure, culture and scenery, very much enjoyed, all the very best, health and happiness.
Ahh thank you! Shetland is a beautiful place to visit!
I'm glad that you enjoyed your adventure here in my homeland and yes, our weather is very varied.
Loved Shetland, and varied weather is what keeps life and the outdoors interesting!

Please, in what month and how much days have you spended in Shetland? Thank you
Hello! We visited at the end of May, and spent a week in total traveling Shetland. We could have stayed for longer, plenty of things to do and see!
Lovely video, makes me want to visit. Is that a Parson Russell terrier?
Thanks! Frank is a Border Terrier - great dogs!
Hi guys, great video, how was Frank on the ferry? Did you have a cabin please with him?

@@TheseWildJourneys we are booked 😁 and managed to get a pet cabin (big relief) very much looking forward to it after your video.. 😊
@@boris_and_gracie_go_wild4660 amaazing! Hope you get some good weather, and let us know if you see any Orcas! It's one thing we missed out on - the pod didn't arrive until a few days after we left! 😭

Great videos Booked for Shetland in August. Got a dog kennel
Nice! Enjoy!
I think you’ll find your last place to visit was Eshaness not Hermaness
You are correct! (And it is now corrected 👌 - cheers!)
Did you see any Shetland Sheepdogs on Shetland Island?
Omg! No! Never heard of them before - but they look adorable 😍!
I think you are well aware that a week is nowhere near long enough for Shetland. Nice video though.
I think you're right! Not least because as soon as we left, the orcas returned!
