Most folk reckon that John O’Groats was the top end of the country. Maybe the mainland. However, the wonderful name of Muckle Flugga marks a way point on the journey towards the Arctic Circle that is nearer to the land of midnight sun than London – yet you are still within the UK. The ubiquitous Google streetview camera-van made one of their more adventurous trailblazer efforts to get to this part of the country. Writing of which, it is well worth while your taking an interactive look around the Unst Shoreside Station environs via the 3D weblink: click here – have a bit of fun and spin the picture round to see the sea and what else is behind you!
It is notable that this Google 3D streetview montage was taken in autumn – September 2015 – and just shows that it is sunny at places to call home. Even if you are getting nearer to where the penguins live!

If you do buy this former lighthouse keeper’s shoreside station house, then it would be remiss not to take a trip to the offshore rocky outcrop and actual lighthouse that this infrastructure was created for. The setting is genuinely spectacular.
