Life in Shetland
Sunset out the kitchen window
Shetland is a bonnie place, it has a very strong heritage which I guess has influenced the things I do. For example I've played the fiddle since I was 8 years old, and I used to play with my Grandpa Willie on Sunday nights when he popped by for a quick tune. I also played with Shetlands Young Heritage until I left for university.

When I am home I love to go out with my folks dogs (there are 4) and here are some photos a of the place ...

Urmly Beach just past Meal Sands
My Grandparents house was named Bonnieview because of its view
Daffodils my Grandpa Willie planted at the Meal Sands

Life in Orkney
Happy Valley a secret graden which is beautiful when it is sunny
I moved to Orkney for work in April 2007 and was there on and off until August of that year when I got my permanent contract. Orkney is very different from Shetland in many ways, the main being its appearance, it is much flatter.

Here are some of my favourite places.
