Voe is verry common word on the maps of Shetland. See Sullom Voe, the
location of the large Oil Terminal, which is perhaps the most famous. From
the map a voe seems to be a body of water such as an inlet or sea-loch -
similar to fjord perhaps?
Hence the Silvery Voe. I think this is a Tom Anderson Tune and it might be
in "Ringing Strings" or one of the other collections in the same series.
