Vera’s Cottage

Vera’s cottage at Leebitton. At least that’s how it is known to those of us who have lived here for 30 years or more.
Does Vera actually live there? I lived in a small community for a long period of time and my house was always known as 'Old Stan's house', even though old Stan had been dead for more than 40 years!

On the topic of Shetland, I came across this video this morning and thought you might be interested (as may others):

@ankers70 Vera is long gone but her ashes were spread around the garden. Thanks for the video link. I've seen part of this but nor the whole content. My wife came to Shetland in 1966 and it was a long time before ITV arrived on the scene. I hadn't appreciated how many years it was between Orkney getting television and then it coming to Shetland
