Delighted to see that the Shetland Diaries are to be replayed Starting Wednesday 31st March. It was truly fascinating for both visitors and shetlanders alike. The staff had a ring side seat as the production team were resident at the St Magnus Bay Hotel during the making of the series. Paul Bird or Andrea Manson (Manager and Manageress) commented on the many hours spent in production.
Jarlshof is one of the most amazing prehistoric archeological sites in the world. Evidence from various ages of history including bronze and iron age settlers are present. The site consists of various features including a Viking longhouse, Iron age broch, pictish whellhouses and mediaeval farmhouse. Whats even more amazing is that the site remained pretty much hidden until a storm washed away part of the shore to reveal the amazing building work contained within.
Please remember to take a look at our Youtube channel which is updated regularly. This along with the blog features some of the amazing sights in Shetland:

Shetland is a great place to view all sorts of wildlife including the puffin (left). These small seabirds with a large colourful beak have short wings adapted to a sort of ‘flying’ underwater. You can see these amazing birds within a short distance form the hotel.
Three whales were sighted on Friday 20th June. One small whale and two larger whales. The whales followed the same path that the whales in the previous sighting did.
