Area Guides
Shetland is a cluster of over one hundred islands, each with its own heritage and history. Whichever island you visit, there's a wealth of archaeological and historical sites to uncover and an amazing variety of wildlife to identify. Each of the islands has an individual and special character. Exploration and getting around is easy, whether by foot, car or cycle.
There are countless opportunities for adventure on our doorstep. Whether walking, windsurfing, fishing, cycling, beachcombing, bird-watching, scuba-diving, sailing, whale-watching, surfing or kayaking, Shetland has something to suit every visitor.
For those who love walking, our cross country treks will take you by loch and sea, over moor and sand. Golfers will find three challenging courses and a driving range. Anglers love Shetland too. There are over 365 lochs holding brown trout and the sea fishing is superb. The charming coastal scenery forms a relaxing backdrop for cruising waters.
If it is an adventure you are after Shetland is the right place for you. It allows yachts unrestricted access to all the islands - so pick one or two and explore!
