Guess what they have in the Shetland Islands? That's right, Shetland Ponies. They're soooo cute !! (34 - 42 inches high, shaggy and big stomaches). They like to groom each other in the hard-to-reach places. In the 1700s they were used to pull the coal mining carts, after it was outlawed for children to do it. Also wandered around in the Scalloway Castle, built in 1600 by Patrick Steward, 2nd Earl of Orkney, who was later executed for his brutality toward the people. It has a dungeon where 17th century witches, comdemned to die on nearb Gallows Hills, awaited their fate. Check out the steps! Today was windy and drizzly, but there were people on the Golf courses. We're sailing across the North Sea over to Norway tonight.
