Lovely pics, lovely islands. They do rather like killing dolphins there though.

On further investigation I found that these were the Faroe Islands and that they lie north, north west of the UK approximately 300km from the top end of Scotland and between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Norwegian Sea.
