There are two protected inlets, hams in the local dialect, on Muckle Roe. They are one of the top attractions in all of Shetland, and just on the other side of the island from us. Andy and Drew have hiked over to them twice already, but with Samuel's little legs and mommy's preference for walking over hiking, we've been waiting for a day when we could drive most of the way and all enjoy them together. It was our last week on the island when we had a perfect afternoon. The drive was a good opportunity for me to trust Andy's ranch driving experience and to just close my eyes until we got past the turns and twists and over the bumps. But my was it an amazing sight!
When this was a place where boats were regularly loaded, there was a village out here, but now there are a lot of abandoned ruins. But the sheep still feast across the hills.
Three cheers for a beautiful day and a picnic!
Boys and Rocks - Samuel would have stayed here forever!
Drew is getting to be quite the rock climber.
