The spectacular coastline of Shetland, filled with voes, cliffs and rock stacks

Shetland

If Orkney is full of historical mysteries, then surely Shetland is the place for the drama. "Nature" wrote one visitor, "appears in her wildest dress" in these, Britain's most northerly islands, and it is indeed the wildness and grandeur of the Shetland landscapes and seascapes which inevitably become the visitors most enduring memory.

There are more than 100 islands here, each forged by the roaring surging waves of the North Atlantic. Everywhere one goes, there are dramatic cliffs, perfect deserted contemplative beaches, huge vistas across awe-inspiring voes and inlets, and above, the evocative cry of seabirds. Sunrises and sunsets in Shetland are spectacular.

To explore all that Shetland has to offer please move your mouse over the blue markers on the map. Interesting snippets about the sites found at that location will be revealed. To view a dedicated page for each area, please click on the map (or the menu to the left) on an area of interest.
