Yes, most people who visit Funzie for the first time pronounce it Funzy whereas it should be pronounced Finny.

ahem, I just discovered the place “Fowey” we just visited is pronounced “Foy”
I suspect anyone visiting today would be calling it something far worse in the teeth of a force 9 SE wind with accompanying stinging rain.
“Cinting weather !” perhaps ?

That’s funny. 
Apparently johnny foreigner spells Vienna as Wien. Confused the fuck out of me at first when i was looking at the road signs.
There’d still be a warm welcome in the “Bearded Clam” Funzie’s most notorious nightspot.

Not sure if Cal Mac go as far up as the Fetlar route, but this pic from a photographer I follow on the west coast is worth seeing…
No, the only service up here is run by Northlink Ferries. One a day, Lerwick to Aberdeen. Three days a week they go/come via Orkney.

That’s the plan. Accommodation in the cottage is limited, although finishing the room will free up the spare bedroom in the house and there’s a very comfortable Bod half a mile away that sleeps 7 and can be rented for exclusive use for around £70 per night.
