Sandwick Beach, Easting

I think all the beaches in Unst are beautiful but I am particularly fond of the Easting beach. A number of years ago, we spent a family holiday staying near the Easting beach and were lucky enough to share the beach with a family otters. It was fascinating watching Mum bring her cubs up and down the beach to and from the sea.

Foord's Chocolate Workshop and Tearoom

If you like chocolate, you'll love Foord's! In Unst, we have our very own chocolatier who makes the most delicious selection of truffles, pralines and caramels! Just the thing to accompany your glass of wine! We were in Unst (October 2006) for my cousin Stewart's Haemfarin and took a trip over to the chocolate workshop and cafe. We had a lovely cup of coffee and a scone. We didn't leave without making several purchases!
