A large Winter gale caused a fall or subsidence.
The strip of land (Da Whills) connecting Fair Isle to it's beloved landmark is the source of erosion still clouding the water in the North Mila Hesslands all these months later. Sheep Rock isn't ready to cut all ties with the just Fair Isle yet, yet, this makes me wonder if I'll see it in my life time? |

Don't go we love our Sheep Rock!
Hi! I’m here because I’ve been reading Ann Cleeves’s Shetland mysteries, the third being set on Fair Isles. Sheep Rock is mentioned, and I wanted to see what it looks like.
ReplyDeleteI’m a New Yorker, too: Brooklyn. Native and will be here until I die. I admire people who go to faraway places with not-so-strange-sounding names.
I'm reading her book as well. Hope to see this place once)
