About Shetland

Shetland is the most northernmost point of Britain, it is approximately 600 miles north of London. From mainland Scotland, it takes approximately 12 hours by ferry and just over an hour to fly. It has more than a hundred islands with only a few of them inhabited, with approximately 22,000 people.

Shetland has an abundance of wildlife, a large rugged coastline, sizeable areas of open countryside and major archaeological sites of historical importance. Shetlands historical industries include fishing, crofting and various textile industries. This has been supplemented with the addition of the Oil & Gas industry in the 1970’s with the Sullom Voe terminal and the more recent Sella Ness investment.

Shetland also has a historical connection with Norway and can be noticed with various traditions, street names etc.
