#AshleyJensen was a pleasant surprise in #Shetland season 8. I have really only known her for Agatha Raisin.
I hope she sticks around. Allison O'Donnell has really grown into the Tosh role.
South Haven and Sheep Rock on beautiful Fair Isle. This is Scotland's most remote inhabited island, some 25 miles south-west of the southern tip of Mainland Shetland and some 30 miles north-east of the nearest of the Orkney Islands.

Inside Mousa Broch on the now uninhabited island of Mousa in Shetland. Mousa Broch rises to 13m high and is both magnificent and awe inspiring. It is also by some margin the best preserved of Scotland's 500 or so brochs. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/mousa/mousabroch/index.html
District Heating (DH) - Simply Costs Less & More Efficient
While #Scotland was only just waking up to the advantages of DH, #Shetland is way ahead of the game
The beauty of DH is that it’s community-led, locally owned so we have control over the production & pricing & not at the mercy of global events that affect electricity costs
Electricity costs have rocketed to around 30p/kWh, DH remains low, currently 7.5p/kWh
