We had a lovely afternoon with Claire White learning about the process of writing a song. Everyone loved her fiddle playing and singing and enjoyed learning about the story of Betty Mouat and hearing her song. Then we had a go at writing our own song lyrics. There were some super ideas and lovely Shetland dialect too.

We had a great trip to the Lerwick museum where we saw lots of real artefacts and learned about crofting life in Shetland in the past.

We enjoyed another super trip out to visit the Quendale watermill. Joyce and John were great guides, teaching us about how the mill worked and the life and work of the miller and crofters in the past. There was so much to see that lots of people thought they would have to come back again.
