Bed & Breakfast.

The Island Of Unst is the most northerly island in the United Kingdom. We have a large nature reserve for bird watchers and many archaeological sites. Pictish and Norse (Viking)

We are 55 miles north of Lerwick.
My wife will give spinning lessons if required.

If you have accessed our web site you will notice that we have built an eco house on a remote island within the UK. We have many Universities working with us on phase 2 and phase 3 of the project.

The project was created to demonstrate energy efficiency and the growing of food crops on a remote island with severe weather conditions in the winter months.
