Lara was terrific -- knowledgeable about everything from the 5000 years of history at Jarlshof to how to harvest peat. She wove in recent history with ancient history with wildlife and Shetland culture. We had a fantastic day and I highly recommend her.

September 2026Thank you for your kind comments and so glad you enjoyed it .
Lara was born and raised in Shetland. She knows her way around from main roads to narrow lanes. She gave us a real feel for life there, and showed us some of the most beautiful and wild coastlines we had ever seen. Highly recommend!
