Welcome to the Shetland Islands
Visit the Shetland Islands, where a different world is waiting for you ...
A world where wildlife is truly wild; where you can watch otters and seals at play; where the air is filled with the sound of seabirds crowding awesome cliffs in huge, noisy colonies; where the beautiful ice-carved landscape is steeped in legend.
And there is much more to Shetland than awe-inspiring nature and wildlife. Shetland has a truly unique culture, as you'd expect of an island group that has been inhabited for over 6,000 years. You'll notice this from our dialect, our heritage, our place names and, of course, our world-renowned traditional music.
A holiday in Shetland is truly special, and we'd love to see you here.
