I Travelled To The UK’s Most Northern Point | Shetland Islands
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июн 2023
- After travelling on NorthLink Ferries’ from Aberdeen to Lerwick in Shetland, I arrive in the remote Shetland Islands. During my time in Shetland, I experience the Shetland food, culture and scenery in my campervan Ernie before arriving at Hermaness nature reserve and taking the stunning hike to the view point to see the out stack, the UK’s most northern point. Before the out stack is the famous Muckle Flugga Lighthouse which protects ships in the treacherous north sea waters.
It's been my dream to visit Shetland since I saw the David Attenborough "Wild Isles" documentaries. During my time in Shetland I visited beautiful sites such as Sumburgh Lighthouse, Jarlshof, St. Ninian's beach and Eshaness. I visited Frankies, the UK's most northerly fish & chip shop, tried Cullen Skink, bannocks and locally caught seafood. I also caught inter-island ferries to explore Yell and Unst.

WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!
P.S. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from.
Planning a trip to Shetland? Save yourself lots of time researching by using my Scotland Google Map which includes pins of places I’ve personally visited and recommend on Shetland: ruthaisling.com/product/scotland-google-map/

👍👍
A cake honesty box in “the middle of nowhere “ is the best thing I have ever seen!!! Great stuff!
It really is the best thing ever!
It’s great to see more people making videos on Shetland. I’ve lived in Shetland my entire life and I’m surprised at how many people have never even heard of this place! Lovely video!
It looks lovely ❤ it has to be one of the most beautiful places in the UK!
I'm so glad you liked the video Callum. I had such an amazing time there and really wanted to share that in this video. You are so lucky to live there!
I’m from Northern California. We of course have heard of the Shetland Isles, but watching the crime drama “Shetland” here in the US really exposed a lot of Americans to your isles. I was in Scotland last October, but didn’t make it to the Shetlands, only made it to the Orkneys, didn’t have enough time to take the ferry trip
Not wanting to be critical, but I have climbed all the Munros of the Highlands, and visited most of the inhabited islands of the Hebrides, both inner and outer, often taking a car. But then Caledonian McBrayne ferries were so cheap to use. I often wanted to visit Shetland, but the ferry was so expensive.
@@malcolmabram2957 the ferry and the planes are expensive because they’re lifeline services that are run solely by one company respectively.
Northlink Ferries is the only ferry company and Loganair is the only airline so they can price how they want
I would sit up on the cliffs for hours and watch the birds sail in the wind. I love this harsh climate. The landscape. The green and blue. The calm. Greetings from Germany
It's a very beautiful place!
You sold us!!!!! My husband and I have wanted to go to the Shetland Islands, we went to Orkneys in 2018 and Isle of Lewis and Harris 2023. We saw your video about a month ago and today we started planning our trip to Shetlands hiring a campervan in Aberdeen and following your route. Thank you so much for the very informative video it really gave us confidence to do the campervan holiday.
Wow, that's amazing! I'm so happy to hear you'll be going to Shetland, I hope you have a fantastic trip!
ENJOY , LOVE FROM TEESSIDE 🏴
I loved the look on your face when you took the first bite of your brownie 😋 what a beautiful place with so much to see and do.
Thanks so much! 😊
Great video. Thank you very much Ruth. I like the way you speak, it's so easy to understand for somebody for whom English is the secong language, like myself.
Thank you! 😃
I am hooked on your interesting videos . I recently downloaded one of your Scotland journeys . Keep them coming !🇨🇦👍
Glad you like them! More coming.. 😊
Please have some coffee.
壮大な昔のままの自然と動物、町並みも昔のまま、バイキングが出てきそうな感じが素敵ですね、Ruth-sanはドローンも操縦できるのですね、そしてキャンプ場も綺麗ですね、アーニー号が輝いてますよ、最後にRuth-sanが日本でも大好きだったフィッシュ&チップスやはり食べましたかwww, シェトランド島素敵でした、次回も楽しみに待ってます、道中お気をつけて😄
小川さん、ありがとう。コーヒー買います！
ビデオを気に入っていただけてうれしいです。キャンプ場はとても良かったです。タイムトラベルしてヴァイキングの時代を体験できたらよかったのに。
@@ruthaislingIf a Viking actually appears, you have to run away. Hahaha
彼女は素晴らしいビデオを作っています。私は彼女がレストランのメニューを表示して、遠く離れた国の食べ物の値段を確認できるようにしているという事実が気に入っています。 それは素晴らしいことです。
@@captbobsadventures4420 同感です、ルースさんは素晴らしい。日本語お上手ですね。
何年も前に、B747 で名古屋に行くのが大好きだったと思います。私の大好きな街の一つです。私は良い翻訳者を使っています@@user-nu5xs8cj5t
Thank you for making this remote place of Scotland accessible to a broader audience. Stunning views, empathetically filmed.
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed the video!
シェトランド諸島の綺麗な風景をありがとう。ゴミのない砂浜や無人ケーキ販売は素晴らしい、心が和みます。
人間の手が加えられていない感じがした。
Its amazing to see some cover of shetland on here. I was also very happy to see about the brownies! One of my friends supplies brownies to one of those boxes. All home made and they taste amazing.
With it being such a small island everyone sort of knows everyone and while there is crime its small and far between. I defiantly feel a lot safer up here then i ever did on the mainland.
Feels so weird seeing a video on the place where i live
They were the best brownies ever!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I think I'd feel the same if someone made a video about my local area 😀
まるで絵葉書で見るような世界ですね✨
自然と人工物が上手く調和している様に見えます😊
そうですね。僕よりうまく説明してくれるね(笑)
I’m from Aberdeen but have worked with many Shetlanders, they are brilliant people, good craic. They are more advanced than the rest of Scotland, as their culture is more similar to Norway. Unlike the rest of Scotland, they told the British government you can have the oil, but under our terms 😂 So they get a cut of every barrel that comes through. Smart folk.
That's a very smart idea. Shetland did feel very advanced compared to other parts of Scotland. Loved that there were very few pot holes!
I just discovered your channel and I am loving it. It gives me a glance of beautiful places I will never get to experience in this lifetime. Oh! I also love the music you play. Cheers.
So glad you are enjoying the videos, thank you for watching!
日本では観ることのできない美しい風景ですね。
綺麗な映像をUPしていただきまして、ありがとうございます ＾＾／˜
ご声援ありがとうございました。
I was surprised to find an island that I had only known by the name of a dog in a northern land filled with such beauty and miracles. I have never seen such a beautiful sea in the north, it was like a tropical sea!I would never have seen it if Ruth the RUclipsr hadn't visited, and I thank you for that trail.
I was so happy to see those beautiful beaches too. Many people have left comments about the Shetland dog, I didn't know about it until I read the comments!
ルースさん こんにちわ。８３歳 姫路の宇仁菅(ウニスガ)です。自然豊かなシェトランド諸島
満喫されているようですね。羨ましいね。中でも滑走路を横切る踏切があるのには、驚きました。
これからも、気を付けて旅を続けて下さい‼楽しみにしていますよ。
こんにちは、姫路からご覧いただきありがとうございます！空港の滑走路はとても興味深かった！
どこか物悲しさがあるような荘厳な自然が素晴らしいですね。
その通り、とても荘厳だ。それをビデオで表現できてよかった。
映像より実際の景色は素晴らしいのでしょうね！
素晴らしかった。
Lovely video! Hope to visit this area one day, my great grandmother was from Scotland! Greetings from Ottawa, Canada
You should visit. Thanks for watching in Ottawa!
I really enjoyed watching this. I'm sure I won't be the first to say but you also have a road that crosses the runway in Gibraltar, and they have full size Boeing jets using it..!
自然も町もきれいな所ですね。
もう戻りたい！
Shetland always deep in my heart ❤, i lived over there in 2006-07 and 2011-12. Unbelievable place, sence of community is wonderful! Miss so much. Thank You for visiting this piece if world.
I've just found your channel Ruth and I am very impressed with the quality of your filming and presentation. I hope you have lots of great adventures -you are quite inspiring. You obviously have many Japanese followers so I hope you can do subtitles for them too.
Thanks so much, that's so kind of you to say. Yes, Japanese subtitles are available on all my videos!
Fabulous video - thanks for taking us along!
Glad you enjoyed it!
いつも、楽しく拝見してます
英語の勉強にもなるし👍とても、美しい場所ですね。流水さんも元気そうでなによりです
いつかは、訪れてみたいですUK
hello japenese people
Love the purity of your videos. The brownies wouldn't last two minutes with me. Really must do shetland and orkney...
Thanks James, the brownies were so good. If you visit Shetland, you must try them!
@@ruthaisling I will and I will. 👍
wow what stunning beuty scotland and its wee islands have. i am in awe how beautiful and whats also nice is the peace and tranquilty and not over crowded. thankyou for your videos
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 🙏
..drive down from Santander to Gibraltar - beautiful Spanish trip - and you'll cross a much bigger airport runway on your approach to Gib..as you suggested it's a weird experience and more so if you walk it..
Great video again Ruth 👏 the music befitts the lovely scenery of the shetlands. Your content is fantastic ❤
Thank you very much for your kind comments!
I love your videos. They are always well done-and informative.
Hello from St. Louis, Missouri, USA. I discovered your channel about two weeks ago and love it. The first videos I watched were of the WW I memorial sites in Frances and Belgium. Very interesting. I think I would really enjoy the Shetland Islands. I've always been intrigued by them and this video is very well done and informative. Thanks for posting.
Hope you can visit Shetland sometime, thanks for watching!
Really enjoy your videos. I have met people from Shetland before when I was in Glasgow and always wanted to go there one day. This vlog definitely makes me wanna go even more
Ruth just saw this video, wow amazing love watching keep it up, and take care and stay safe
The road from the border into Gibraltar town crosses the runway too - and it handles jets
日本に無い景色ですね。なかなか旅行でも見れない景色に感激してます。
景色を楽しんでいただけてうれしいです。
I absolutely love your vlogs - this 'episode' has to be one of the best I've seen so far. You present your vlogs as though you are a true presenter. I felt like I was watching a programme like CountryWide - nature, travel abd you go so well together 🩷🩷🩷
I've always wanted to visit the Shetland Islands and you've now convinced me to get this destination at the top of my wish list 🩷🩷🩷
Wow, thank you! You need to go to Shetland.
Beautiful and fantastic scenery views and coastline.
Excellent Ruth,Thank you...
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Another fantastic video. Thank you.
Thanks!
絶景‼️ ひょっとしてシャチにも会えるかもって惹かれます。シャチに会えるのは日本だと羅臼ですが、やはり大自然が広がる場所です。
冬だと物凄く厳しそうですが、お天気が悪くても壮大な自然の風景は色褪せない感じで素敵ですね〜。
シャチも見てみたい。私のバケットリストの夢(笑)。
Lovely video Ruth the scenery is simply stunning.
Shetland has just become one of the ' Must See ' environments I intend travelling to. ❤
Wonderful! You need to go..
Toured the Shetlands in the late 80s with my 2 daughters ,10 and13, I and they found it a wonderful experience . Like you we went everywhere possible found the people very friendly and helpful, from our B n B landlady to the locals and the ferry personel .I would love to go back again sometime soon .I would highly recomend the Shetlands to anyone who loves nature and adventure.
That sounds like a brilliant trip, so glad to hear you enjoyed it too!
スコットランドってひとがあまりいないのですね。野外にひとをみることがないような。その島だけでしょうね。
ルースさんは本当に美人ですね！☺
スコットランドは人が少ないから好きなんだ。でも人気のある場所はすごく混んでいるけどね、例えばエジンバラとか！
Loved this video! Seeing the Shetland Islands through your very positive eyes is a real treat. Thank you.
Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
Hi Ruth, and thanks for a memory-jogging video, especially Hermaness with the dome in the background. However, sorry, but not quite. I served at RAF Saxa Vord in 82/83 and I've actually been to Out Stack, thanks to Bristows Helicopters. There was noboy there!. Happy to share the photos if you wish.
That's cool you've been there!
北端制覇.🎊おめでとうございます👏. 自然も文化も興味津々で､あっという間の30分でした～. ｼｪﾄﾗﾝﾄﾞ! 美しい❣.
30分があっという間だったと聞いてうれしい。長すぎるんじゃないかと心配していたんだ！
Stunning Ruth, thanks for taking us along with you. You managed to pack so much in. Happy travels.
Thanks for watching!
Such a great film thank you. I’ve just booked to go to Shetland next month so I’m loving this ❤❤
Thanks! 🙏 Hope you enjoy your trip to Shetland!
Amazing! Another very interesting & fascinating video! Just wonderful! The Shetland Isles are so beautiful & captivating in every way! Including the breathtaking scenery, the cuddly sheep, the Lighthouse, the delicious looking seafood & fish & chips, and of course the cute wee puffins, and more! Thank you for sharing another delightful experience!
Glad you enjoyed it!

My family came from Scotland when the U.S. was still the colonies of Great Britain. The Reid's are one of three main Septs of Clan Donnachaidh. The Robertsons are the current Lairds of the Clan.
Thank you Miss! It is 4:17a.m. in Tennessee & I just checked for msg on phone. God Bless!
Brilliant video, I've been lucky to have spent some time there, just gorgeous.
Thanks for the videos, the ferry to Shetland and, especially, Shetland itself xxx❤

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing and happy travels in the van.
Thanks for watching!
The scenery is breathtaking. I have been to Scotland but not the islands. I wish I had been able to go there.
Hope you can visit sometime!
What an incredible view….! Who knew we have such a beautiful coast in the U.K. I’m seriously thinking about visiting there one day. I love live music so was pleased to see the players performance at the end ❤
The music night was great! I hope you can visit someday!
I love how you show us so many things from extraordinary to ordinary like good foods. Loved this one!
Thanks Patricia, appreciate your lovely comments! ❤
Very well made video. Thanks for taking us to Shetland 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
For someone with a only a couple videos out, you’re really good at this type of stuff. Looking forward to following along.
That's so lovely of you to say, thank you!
There is also fascinating information about the formation of the islands which I’m sure people would love to know !
Shetland looks awesome. It's been on my bucket list for years but I've not made it up there yet. Thanks for showing us the sights!
It's so amazing, I hope you make it there soon!
Fabulous - Shetland has long been on my bucket list and you certainly do it justice.
Thanks for watching, hope you can visit soon!
This trip has been awe inspiring.. I'm planning my own visit for next year already. Your advice and tips are wonderful 👍🏻 Thanks so much!

We have returned to Shetland this week for my son to complete some work experience (I lived here for a short time a few years ago) and are currently sitting in the Da Haaf restaurant in Scalloway having had the Cullen skink- great recommendation, Ruth. It was delicious!
Oh wonderful! It was so delicious and I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it too!
I'm reminded so much of the movie "Local Hero" by this post. What an absolute delight to watch! I have visited Pennan the setting for Local Hero, it was in the famous bar, that I had my first "Cullen Skink", so once again, Ruth, Thanks for the lovely memories!🤩
Glad you enjoyed the video. I really hope to visit that area soon and see the telephone box for myself!
Beautiful place.....who knew !!
I live right at the other end of UK in Torquay, South Devon on English Riviera but I really would like to spend time in Scotland soon. ❤ 🏴
You should visit soon 🏴
What another beautiful video thanks for sharing it with us x

素晴らしき広大な景色を見たら、もやもやした気持ちがどうでもよくなりました。
ありがとうございます🙌
That was just stunning! I used to see Gannets down in Cornwall when I lived there and I think I might have seen a Puffin on the isle's of silly! It was in the late seventies!
Wow amazing! 😍
