Our last day of our wonderful 5 month winter stay on Shetland is finally here. Early am drop of L and dad for their flight at Sumburgh then I'm on the boat south tonight. Time for a lovely coastal cliff explore from tiny dead-end Maywick - 4 houses outnumbered by 20 shacks and collapsing ruins. Kept a healthy distance back from the sudden cliff edges around Taing of Maywick- good views of the steep geos of the Clift Hills and N to the end of the Burras. A handful of skuas used me for some early season swooping practice. Lambing still in full swing here. One little one squeezed under the fence wire to trot after me bleating - hoping for a bottle perhaps.Chris Pearson21/05/2021

Glad I save my GPS tracks. Knowe idea what prompted me to bag the other Burgarth.Martin R15/05/2019
Drove up the track, parked to the east. Not obvious where the summit is. Could be the east side of the fence and not the west, as currently recorded. Peat cutting might change the summit location again!Gill29/08/2018
