Fetlar looks very nice. I'll come over and see in person next time. Muchas gracias for the pictures. As to the Hound of Fetlar, I thought (erroneously) the Fetlar blogger just might be Herman Ess (accompanied by Orkney quadruped), but I was puzzled and not sure - for he would move to Unst, now, would he not? I hear Fetlar is very fertile: what do farmers grow? Commercial fishing?

Fetlar is called the garden of Shetland. Not actually sure what grows well there but it looks green.

Just googled Fetlar and discovered a website that gives you an interactive tour of the island & other parts of Shetland. Its very good. The address is www.kalliness.shetland.co.uk/isles/fetlar/fetlar_map.html

Interesting website. The Primary School (through sixth grade/11 plus?) looks in good shape: how many students? Air strip: who lands? What lands (private Pipers and Cessnas?) there - does Loganair? Roads look in excellent shape: do people bike a lot or are the winds too fierce? The Kirk - Presbyterian or is it "non denominational"?
