Even further north, in Unst, local folk can sometimes be found playing perhaps the most traditional form of golf among the sand dunes and links at Burrafirth, a spectacular, fjord-like inlet at the north end of the island. Although not an official golf course, it’s a special experience to play a few strokes here at midnight in the midsummer twilight, or as us Shetlanders call it ‘the simmer dim’.
