Sumburgh Head (Promontory Fort) by thelonious 28/06/2023 - This is the fourth time I've visited Sumburgh Head over the years. There isn't much of the fort/possible broch to see but the views are nice and I finally met the current inhabitants - lovely puffins (the main reason everyone comes here). Still light at near 11pm. What a place to live back in the day. View down to the sea from inside what would have been the interior of the fort. Canmore entry is worth a read.
