Line of planticrubs Anyone familiar with the landscape of northern England or Scotland will assume first of all that these are drystone sheep fanks but actually they are planticrubs, probably unique to Shetland. This was the only place I saw a whole row of them. Planticrubs were built to shelter kale seedlings from the wind so serve as primitive greenhouses.
