On your next trip to the hotel be sure take a look at the amazing photography lining the main hallway. Last century the walls of the St Magnus Bay Hotel featured many photographs by the great J D Ratter. Now we’re in the new millennium a fresh crop has been chosen. Mark Sinclair of Phatsheep Photography has provided a phenomenal tour de force of shetland imagery. He specialises primarily in landscapes and architectural photography and has been featured in many publications worldwide. His unique style and imaginative composition have helped him gain a reputation far outwith Shetland.
These images along with others are available to purchase. Please ask if you would like any assistance.

The delicate task of restoration work continues within the St Magnus Bay Hotel. To restore the building to it’s original glory will take a lot of time and effort but the results will be outstanding.

Sea Angling in Shetland can be very rewarding. Mackrel, haddock, sea trout and much more blend with fantastic scenery. You can also find areas called Laxfirth (HU4760) and Laxo, which ‘lax’ means salmon. Speak to us before you arrive if you are interested in Sea Fishing, then we can help you arrange your trip if you like.
