I'm asking for your help in discovering where these photos and films were made on the Shetland Islands. Please contact me via You Tube if you have even a thought of where any of them were made. Thank you very much for your help and your time!

Hmm, I wonder if 4.13-4.17 is the road up out of Bigton as you head north back to the main road at Levenwick?.

@Njugglesvatn Hello again! I had seen that area after "driving" and it does look very similar, but I don't believe the contours of the hills match perfectly, which is all I have to go on to verify. I'll take a closer look again. I believe these are the coordinates you were thinking about: 59.972346,-1.314883.

@Njugglesvatn It turns out that you were correct! I was looking closer to Bigton near the first group of curves, but if you go aobut 2 km north on B9122 you come to an area which looks perfect, and I believe is the place the photo was taken! The hillsides along the road up to that point had too much of an incline too close to the road. Once again, you have solved a mystery! You're second! Someone else has also sent me more information on about another scene. I'll look at that now. THANKS!

I'm fairly certain that the view from 2:03 is from Skelberry in North

roe looking North. I think the house with the black roof is called Clothie. The water in the background is the bay called Burravoe.

@DaLipper Looking towards the lake things do look similar, but there are many discrepancies that lead me to believe this is not the same place.

If I type in Skelberry, North Roe, Shetland, United Kingdom it brings me to these coordinates: 60.585829,-1.331964  “Driving” along the roads I don’t see anything there that seems similar to the film, not even if I drive a bit north to that lake just south of Sand Voe.

@DaLipper When I type in Burravoe I’m taking to an area near Brae, and I can not find any ridge or small body of water as appears in the film.

So, at this point, I’m very lost as to where the area you mentioned is.

@DaLipper When I type in Skelberry it brings me to these coordinates: 59.928936,-1.297331 This is in the southern end of the Island, but I know that there is a North Roe in the northern part of the Island, so something doesn’t seem correct. If you copy these coordinates and then put them into the Google Maps search bar, it will take you to the spot I’m talking about. Then taking the little golden man and dragging him to that spot will give you a view from street level

Hello DaLipper,

Thank you for the help that you given me! I’ve checked out the locations that you mentioned, and as I’ve found in the past Google’s names seem to be in the wrong places sometimes. Do you happen to know how to get coordinates using Google Maps? If not, please let me know and I’ll explain it to you. At any rate, I went to the place that you mentioned and according to Google Maps there are several locations instead of one...

@DaLipper Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the film and send your information to me! I'll take a look at the area that you mentioned and see what I can find, and then I will get back to you. Thank you once again!
