58° 30’ North
The North West of Scotland overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is a fine place in all seasons whether storm or sun.
In summer we enjoy long days of daylight, a few miles up the coast from where I took this photo is Cape Wrath at 58° 38’ North which is the highest latitude of mainland Britain.
I have friends that stay on the island of Unst in the Shetland archipelago. The latitude of their home is 60° 48’ North which is further north than Helsinki at 60° 19’ North or Oslo at 59° 91’ North.
The Shetland Islands is of course nearer to Norway than it is to Britain. My friends on Unst enjoy much longer days of sunshine in summer – on June 21st this year for example they will enjoy a tad shy of nineteen hours of daylight compared to 18 hours at my home on the mainland.
