In real life called Wolfgang Schlick - sometimes called '172.208.153.121' ... ;-)

Beyond midlifecrisis living in Hamburg, Germany.

Travelling both Orkney & Shetland since 1974.


My pics added to Shedlopedia you may see here. Not up to date always and may be without some graphs.


In my former life I had the pleasure to publish two books about Orkney & Shetland:

Die Orkney- und Shetland-Inseln, Landschaft und Kultur im Nordatlantik (1989), ISBN3-7701-2174-0

Orkney und Shetland, Reisetaschenbuch (2000), ISBN 3-7701-4842-8

Sorry, both are in German only and out of stock ... ;-)

Actual website project:

SchottlandPortal [1] the only Scotland related website among the TOP6000 German websites 2006 and 2007

A bit out of date and due for a general updating: Orkney & Shetland - The Top of Scotland [2]
