Welcome to the Shetland Isles

Shetland Isles

A guide to the Shetland Isles

Shetland Isles – Visit Scotland

19 hours of midsummer sun

1697 miles of coastline

6000 years of history

138 sandy beaches

1 million seabirds

200,000 puffins

22,000 people

Shetland is awesome, it is a lot larger than you might think and very long and narrow from north to south with a lot of peninsulas and sealochs / voes / fjords cutting deep inland, you are never further than 3 miles from the sea and has a coastline of over 1600 miles!!!

– a lot also depends again on what you are after and the type of weather/visibility we get

the two extremes especially. in summer, when it is a warm calm day is that “haar” / cold seafog comes in – so you could have an absolutely stunning crystal clear blue sky bright day with amazing visibility – the haar settles in and you can barely see for more than 100 metres and all is grey, or it is a rainy, broody, dark cloud day – but often it changes from one to the other within the space of 1 hour.

In mid-April you already have 15 hours daylight (in June you have 19 hours of daylight) and nature is at its best during late spring and early summer.

Southern mainland:

– some of the highlights are St. Ninian’s isle and beach

– Scousburgh beach, the loop around Spiggie loch, the cliffs towards Fitful head

• Jarlshof  – one of the foremost neolithical sites in Europe – similar to Skara Brae on Orkney
• Scatnes beach just opposite the airport is crystal clear and I love it for a walk
• Scatness iron age village & broch
• the airport bus south also stops at Sandwick, from where tourist boats take you to Moussa with the best preserved broch and home to a colony of sea petrels.

* plus of course Sumburgh head and lighthouse

Central mainland, Scalloway and East & West Burra

• On a clear sunny day, the views, the colour of the sea and beaches & beyond over to the islands over to the southern mainland and as far west as Foula
• Tingwall the ancient Viking parliament site

Day 1 of Unicorn Shetland Tour. Shetland has over 100 islands, 16 inhabited, from North (Unst) to South (Sumburgh head on the massively large Shetland mainland – Scotland’s 3rd largest island) is over 80 miles and with so many sea inlets and peninsulas – nowhere is further than 3 miles from the sea the coastline is a staggering 2700 km long. We are closer to Bergen than to Edinburgh and can feel the Norse heritage, culture, language & even the wild rugged coastline with 100’s of fjords/firths/voes/sea inlets & wicks (bays) is very Norwegian in character. / While on our Berwickshire/Borders & East Lothian tours we still feel the historic Northumbrian Anglo-Saxon connections – it is where Scotland feels “the most English” / While on our Southwest Scotland, Galloway, Kintyre & Islay tours we feel all the “Irishness” around us – in Shetland even more so than on Orkney after 600 years under Viking/Norwegian control in 1472 became Scottish again – the Norwegian heritage and connections are still strong.
