taken 14 years ago, near to Booth of Toft, Mainland, Shetland Islands, Scotland

Sand Water peninsula
Sand Water peninsula
This point of land sticking out into Sand Water has been walled off at some point in the past - a common practice to keep livestock in.
This was one of the many Water Board lochs before the distribution system was centralised. It was connected by a pipe to Neshion Water above it to provide a supply during the construction of the nearby Sullom Voe Terminal.
