Mirrie Dancers

January 28th 2021

Our Luggie's Knowe wind turbine site outside Lerwick regularly picks up the Northern Lights (known locally as the Mirrie Dancers) in the night vision of our CCTV. A good shot from January 2021.

Luggie was a supposed wizard, possibly a version of Loki, from old Shetland tales who could catch fish (some say ready boiled) from this spot through a hole in the rock. Then some Scalloway folk burned him at the stake.

Knowe means hillock or knoll.
