To the North: Places I'd like to visit during our next trip to the UK (2015)

This Blog's devoted, first and foremost, to public opinion. Specifically, Opinion Poll analysis and the geography of the vote. But just now and then I'll indulge myself. This happens to be one of those occasions.

Hoping to make a few side-trips to the following places during our trip to the UK next year:

(1) The Faroe Islands (Half-way between the Shetlands and Iceland)
