Tingaholm rising out of the mist on Tingwall loch this morning.
Tingaholm was the site of Shetland’s local parliament until the late 16th century. It was once an islet accessed by a stone causeway, by 1774 the stone seats had been ripped up to provide grazing space and in the mid 19th century the water levels in the loch were lowered, and the holm has appeared the same ever since.

Very nice! You do know TIM’s going to comment on this! Must have taken ages to Photoshop out all of the clouds and choppy waves!
