Or Tom's Most Excellent Scottish Adventure). Sunday, March 15, 2015. Debacle in Shetland: Accidental and Intentional Panoramas. The southernmost point in Shetland. I'd taken a screenshot (see above), and one thing I wanted to do was make my own panorama looking north from Sumburgh Head. And stumbled upon this:. It looks like there's a gap between the left-most image and its neighbor. I guess that's just the risk you run.

Anyway, on February 9th. BBC Radio Orkney power-hitters Dave and Andrew hosted the program, and Dave began to randomly wax eloquent about Vesta Chow Mein.
