Shetland Tallships

An exciting week in Shetland as the Tall ships arrive. Only a few in Lerwick as others visit different ports around the isles


The weather was mixed as we visited last night, just before the erect barriers around the area
Lots of visiting yachts in the harbour mostly from Norway, Germany and England
An unknow visitor at Hay's Dock
                                              This is the tallest, Tall ship in The Tallship race

It was a very muscial event as they arrived with lots of drums playing
A few local boats managed to get a berth


This visiting cruise liner arrived at 8pm and then had its own musical event as the Shetland Fiddlers boarded 
This person rolled down the pier from one end to the other


The band had a 45min practice beside the ship in preparation for the parade
What a great sound which attracted a good few people who lived in Lerwick
