Clodis Water is a small freshwater lake located in the scenic Shetland Islands, which are part of Scotland. Spanning an area of approximately 2 hectares, this tranquil body of water is nestled amidst the picturesque countryside, offering visitors a serene and idyllic setting to explore.

The lake is fed by a combination of rainfall and a small stream that flows into it, ensuring a constant supply of fresh water. It is surrounded by lush vegetation, including reeds and water lilies, which provide a natural habitat for a variety of aquatic plants and wildlife.

Clodis Water boasts crystal clear waters, making it a popular spot for swimming during the summer months. The lake's depth varies, with some areas reaching up to 5 meters. Its sandy bottom and gentle slopes make it a safe and enjoyable place for families and individuals to take a refreshing dip.

Additionally, Clodis Water is home to an array of fish species, such as brown trout and perch, making it a haven for anglers. Fishing enthusiasts can cast their lines from the shore or rent a small boat to explore the deeper parts of the lake.

The surrounding area offers ample opportunities for nature lovers to enjoy the beauty of the Shetland Islands. Walking trails meander through the nearby countryside, providing scenic views of the lake and its surroundings. Birdwatchers will also appreciate the diverse avian population that frequents the area, including ducks, swans, and various species of waterfowl.

Ness of Queyon Taken on the B9081 as we pass through East Yell, Yell, Shetland, I am looking across Otters Wick to the Ness of Queyon, the croft of the same name and the Hill of Queyon. The cliffs of Hascosay and Mid Yell can be seen beyond.

View over Gossabrough Hay stooks dot the field in front of a bay called the Wick of Gossabrough, named after the small collection of crofts and houses that surround it. The row of buildings on the far side of the bay seems to be called "Bottom" according to the map, and I think that the ruined building in front of them is Gossabrough Haa. Beyond them, in the distance, can be seen a wall on the Ness of Gossabrough, it is in the adjacent square to the east (as are all the building that can be seen), and runs from HU53588307 to HU53508315

East Yell: the White Wife This unusual monument commemorates a shipping disaster in April 1924. Setting sail from Gothenburg, bound for Chile, the 'Bohus' had been sailing for three days when a navigational error resulted in the ship becoming grounded a short distance from here, some 60 miles off her intended course. Within half an hour most of the ship had broken up. Four of the 39 on board perished, and the survivors owed a lot to the men of Yell who acted swiftly when they saw the tragedy emerging. The ship's figurehead was washed ashore in September 1924 and this is what we see here: erected by local people as a memorial to the tragedy, within sight of where it occurred.
