That is a beautiful local newspaper headline, a work of art.

Windhouse, on Yell, is probably Shetland’s most haunted house. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I pass by this place every time I go to Lerwick. Not seen any ghosts though.

It was sold a couple of years ago, but sadly there are no signs of any restoration going on.

Tbh, I would have thought the figures would be higher than they are quoting. Lerwick is often teeming with tourists in the summer months.

I can see this getting very messy after Brexit. The EU boats will surely still fish these waters (presumably that will be illegal after we leave the EU) Will the Navy get involved?

We still have a navy ???

Theres’ no such thing as “traditional waters” , as our hero, the local fisherman, states in the article. That term’s no good to man nor beast

Which waters EU boats can fish rather depnds upon (A) how far from the coast the boats are and whether (B) Gove follows through on his promise /threat to withdraw UK from the London convention.

Besides. For every ton landed from our EEZ there’s way more landed from UK-licensed super trawlers in other EU countries “traditional waters.” as it were. The large fishing companies don’t make good copy though, so all we here about is anecdotal blah from Captain Haddock of Aberdeen.

Which still avoids the elephant in the fish-tank, namely: which fish do we catch in our “traditional waters” and who buys them ?
