Shetland offers some of the finest walking in Europe, at all times of the year. The combination of impressive coastal scenery from the North Sea, Atlantic facing cliffs, quiet inland lochs, and gentle heathery hills is unsurpassed.

We are ideally located making it easy to tour the islands, only 9 miles from Sumburgh Airport, 17 miles to Lerwick and 41 miles to the Yell Ferry to Unst.

Shetland is very much a community island and the warmth of its people make this island a special place to visit.
