First I must apologise for my ramblings and none sensical post. It's 4:36 and I am currently wracking my brains and I'm over thinking things and not sure if I'm making anything up?!

 

I used to live in Unst, many years ago (my Dad was in the RAF and we got posted there) I attended Baltasound Junior High.

We lived in a Cottage right by the Sea, myself and my younger brother would have to catch a little battered yellow mini bus to get to school, and a little way up the beach from the Cottage that we lived in-- there was a little white light house on the Pebbled beach, now my memory is quite bad as this was in the early-mid 90's and I can't remember the address or the area of the cottage for the life of me, so I don't remember how far to Baltasound I lived and I don't recall the little light houses's name either, so I'm really just looking for a bit of a pin-point to the cottage.

There was also a little shop I believe run by a woman at the time in the opposite direction from the light house?

 

Is anyone able to shed some light?!

This might be where you used to live in Uyeasound.

Ha! Yeah, I just came on to reply to say I had found it about an hour after posting-- But thank you, you too have found it. Yes it was Uyeasound; the name doesn't ring a bell funnily enough, but on the very end; that is definitely the Cottage and on google street view I can just about see the little lighthouse. I actually thought I was a lot closer to Baltasound than that (I obviously forgot how very little the distance is) then I remembered we moved to Settlers Hill Estate. Brings back so many happy memories :-) Very privileged to have lived in such a beautiful place.

 

Thanks again though! I can finally sleep at 06:20am
