Burn of Houlland, Shetland Islands

The A970 heading south

Uploader's Comments

The A970 just comes to a dead stop about 3 km north of here (behind the camera), at Isbister. Looking south, for the next ten miles or so it is "single track with passing places", but there is so little traffic that it is hardly a problem. After that, and all the way to Sumburgh [[HU4009]], 80km away, it is a splendid road, upgraded (like other main routes on the Shetland Islands) when the oil money was at its peak.
