The Peerie Neuk - Tiny Home in Unst, Shetland

28/12/2024

Looking back towards the Peerie Neuk from the Keen of Hamar. It’s interesting to see a view the other way round!

The Keen of Hamar nature reserve might look like a barren moonscape but from May through the summer it’s home to an abundance of tiny wild flowers, the most unusual being the Edmonston’s Chickweed, which can only be found here.

Also on the Keen of Hamar you can find one of the sky stops. This one explains all about the sunrise and where the sun rises on the longest and shortest days of the year. The bench points directly east facing the exact point where the sun will rise twice a year on the spring and autumn equinox 🌅

The view down through Baltasound is lovely too 💛

Have you read ShetlandwithLaurie’s blog about the time she stayed at The Peerie Neuk - Tiny Home in Unst, Shetland? 💛💛💛

The Peerie Neuk is a tiny “hut” in Unst and part of the tiny-house movement. This architectural and social movement advocates downsizing living spaces, simplifying interiors and living with less. As someone who resides in a constant state of clutter and chaos, kicking off my boots at the door of...

This is such a BEAUTIFUL film! 🦦🦦

There’s a least one otter, probably more that live down in Haroldswick. Maybe not as cute as Molly but so lovely to see 💛💛💛

I’m sure it will be on National Geographic TV again Sky Channel 129. You can stream it too.

When a wild otter in desperate need of help washes up on a jetty in the remote Shetland Islands, Billy, his wife Susan and their devoted sheep dog Jade find themselves with a unique new member of their family.

Watch Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story on Friday at 8pm, on UK and now streaming on Disney+ UK

Don’t think a trip to Unst in November is for you? Think again! Here’s a throwback to when ShetlandwithLaurie came to stay for a November weekend getaway!

The weather can be lovely…..nice enough for a swim at Britain’s Most Northerly Beach (check out the blog and YouTube video) or it can be wild and windy, perfect for staying cosy in front of the wood burning stove.

The Balta Light pub is great for a night out and dinner too. Even though there are no puffins here in the winter a walk out over Hermaness is worth it for the views and to blow the cobwebs away anyway 💛

Did you know that if you look really hard, easier with binoculars, you can see Muness Castle from the Peerie Neuk?

It’s better up close of course!

The castle is open all year, it’s worth a look around and while you’re there there are some lovely walks along the coast and at Easting beach.

So for castle ’views’ why not book in to the Peerie Neuk? Bookings are now open for 2025 (summer is getting busy already) and there’s some availability for November and December if a winter break is your thing! 💛💛
