A Shetland Island local got a surprise when driving across the island in July. Janice Priest of Unst came across the unexpected sight of a lone man playing the bagpipes to an audience of captivated Shetland ponies.
“As I went past I realized that there was this man with a set of bagpipes playing and the mares in the scattald (hill) were all standing beside him listening,” she told Talker News.
Priest has a Shetland pony breeding farm of her own, Musselbrough Shetland Pony Stud, so she understood how unusual and special this was.
