Exploring the mainland

01

"You can be impressed by Shetland’s geology just walking along the stunning Eshaness cliffs or the beautiful St Ninian’s Isle tombolo. But when you discover the cliffs were once part of an explosive volcano, and the tombolo formed due to flooding after the last glaciation, you see the landscape in a whole new way – I find it awe inspiring."

Robina Barton, Geology Project Officer, Geopark Shetland

Visit the mainland of Shetland at any time of year and you'll be enchanted by the rugged beauty of the landscape. Its dramatically changing colours and textures will take your breath away. Whether arriving for the first time or returning, you can be sure of a great welcome.

Lerwick Rich in history, and Shetland’s main town, Lerwick is characterised by its harbour-front location and the network of narrow lanes stretching up from the shop-lined Commercial Street. The bustling Victoria Pier comes alive during the summer months with sailing races and regattas and is often the hub for outdoor events and festivals. As well as a good variety of shops and cafés, Lerwick has modern facilities with the Clickimin Leisure Centre and the Shetland Museum and Archives.

Attractions include the Iron Age Clickimin Broch, beautiful cliff-top scenery at The Knab and some lovely gardens, such as the King Harald Street Flower Park.

For information and to book accommodation go to www.visitscotland.com

South Mainland Shetland is renowned for its archaeological sites, the most notable of which can be found in the South Mainland. The world’s best preserved broch on the uninhabited island of Mousa can be reached by boat from Sandwick, while Sumburgh is home to the remarkable Iron Age village of Jarlshof and Scatness Broch, which dates from the Bronze Age. Europe’s finest example of a sand tombolo links the mainland to St Ninian’s Isle.

Central Mainland Scalloway is Shetland’s second largest town and, as the ancient capital, is home to a wealth of history. Here you can see the ruins of Scalloway Castle and discover the local history at the Scalloway Museum, including the internationally famous story of the World War II Shetland Bus. Burra and Trondra, small islands linked to the mainland by a series of bridges, is home to

beautiful white stretches of sand at Meal and Bannaminn beaches. Tingwall was once where the Vikings held their annual parliament, while Weisdale and Whiteness are popular spots for walking and offer an abundance of indigenous flora and fauna.

West Mainland The West Mainland combines beaches and dramatic cliffs with fertile farmland and heathery hills. With numerous sheltered inlets of water, the coastline is well suited to a variety of watersports.

There are modern marinas in Walls, Aith and Skeld, while Bixter Firth is a popular spot for fishing. The coastal walk from Walls to Sandness will provide beautiful panoramic views, taking in the island of Foula and sea stacks by Deepdale. The islands off the West Mainland should not be overlooked. Papa Stour, an inhabited crofting island rich in history, can be reached by ferry from West Burrafirth.

Delting, Lunnasting and Nesting

Northmavine

Characterised by steep valleys, hills and sheltered harbours, Delting is home to the lively settlements of Brae and Voe and also the Sullom Voe oil terminal, while the scenic isle of Muckle Roe is joined to the mainland by a bridge. Nesting and Lunnasting, settlements on the east side of the mainland, boast some popular beauty spots and are great locations for wildlife. This area is renowned in angling circles for its myriad of lochs.

Girlsta Loch - Shetland’s largest and deepest loch - is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is the only loch in Shetland where you can catch Arctic char.

Impossible to miss thanks to a rather grand ‘Welcome to Northmavine’ sign, the area north of Mavis Grind offers miles of beautiful coastline, world-renowned geological features, beautiful beaches and historic fishing villages where you can see evidence of whaling stations. Walk to the top of Ronas Hill, Shetland’s highest hill, to see a Neolithic chambered cairn and panoramic views of Northmavine and beyond. The surrounding 7 mile long Ronas Voe is flanked by stunning red cliffs and is best explored by sea kayak. Further west you can see the black volcanic cliffs at Eshaness, where the mighty Atlantic has carved huge chunks of rock out of the shoreline.

Exploring the islands Shetland is a cluster of more than 100 islands and 15 of these are inhabited. Each has its own history, attractions and special character. Whichever island you visit, there is a wealth of archaeological and historical sites to uncover and a diverse array of flora and fauna to admire.

Unst Britain’s most northerly inhabited island, Unst, can be reached by a 10-minute ferry crossing from neighbouring island Yell. The island has a varied landscape, with two National Nature Reserves - Hermaness and Keen of Hamar. Home to the highest number of rural Viking longhouses in the world, a programme of events and activities celebrate this legacy throughout summer. There are a number of archaeological sites of interest on Unst, with three fully excavated Viking longhouse sites and the Bordastubble Standing Stone.

Yell Yell is home to some of the best beaches in Shetland, such as West Sandwick and the awardwinning Sands of Breckon. Cullivoe Pier in North Yell holds an annual Party at the Pier in July, and is a must-visit. The stunning coastline is great for wildlife, with the low lying peaty shoreline an ideal habitat for otters and Yell Sound and Bluemull Sound great spots for marine wildlife.

You can find out more about the history of Yell at the Old Haa in Burravoe.

Fetlar You can reach Fetlar from Gutcher in Yell. Known for its rich and fertile soil, most of Fetlar consists of the rare habitat serpentine heath. Summer is stunning when the wildflowers are in bloom and you can see a number of rare migrant birds and breeding seabirds. There is a RSPB reserve at the Mires of Funzie where you can spot feeding phalaropes. History lovers should visit the Finnigert Dyke, a Bronze Age wall cutting the island in half from north to south.

Foula Often referred to as the most isolated community in Britain, Foula is home to some of the tallest cliffs in the country. The 5 square miles of island consist of five dramatic peaks, namely: Da Noup, Hamnafield, Da Sneug, Da Kame and Soberlie.

As well as boasting dramatic scenery, the island has an abundance of wildlife and as it was inhabited since Neolithic times, is rich in historical significance. Regular flights depart from Tingwall, arriving in Foula just 15 minutes later.

04

Fair Isle

Bressay and Noss

This island is world-famous for its intricate patterned knitwear, but there are many more reasons to travel to this beautiful outpost situated between Orkney and Shetland. Owned by the National Trust for Scotland, there is large scale ornithological conservation work taking place at the Fair Isle Bird Observatory, making the island a very popular spot for birdwatchers. Visitors who stay in the new observatory lodge can even join the wardens on the early morning round for a chance to see rare migrant birds. The George Waterson Memorial Centre and Museum contains information on Fair Isle from prehistoric to modern times.

Just a short ferry journey from Lerwick, Bressay is one of Shetland’s most accessible islands.

Those looking for archaeological treasures can explore the Bronze Age Bressay project, where a community group saved the Burnt Mound of Cruester from coastal erosion by moving the site stone by stone in a project thought to be a world first. More information on the history of the island can be found at the Bressay Heritage Centre.

Behind Bressay is the island of Noss, a National Nature Reserve characterised by spectacular cliffs and 150,000 breeding seabirds.

Out Skerries With a total land mass of less than 2 square miles, this lively community of around 70 people is 24 miles to the north east of Lerwick and can be reached by a regular ferry. The road on the island is less than a mile long, so best explored on foot. The large number of shipwrecks around the shoreline and the favourable conditions caused by the passing Gulf Stream means this is a worldclass location for diving.

Papa Stour

01

The name Papa Stour derives from the missionary Celtic priests who settled on the island as far back as the sixth century, with the name translating as ‘big island of the priests’. The west side of the island is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its habitats and natural landforms, while the surrounding seas are considered a Marine Conservation Area. Exploring the 22 miles of stunning coastline will provide spectacular views of sea stacks, arches and sea caves. This island is serviced by inter island flights from Tingwall Airport and a car ferry.

Whalsay Known as the ‘bonny island’, Whalsay has a long and proud history as a busy fishing port.

Golfers visiting Shetland can boast having played at Britain’s most northerly course if they take the 30-minute ferry ride from Laxo. The course is challenging, but worth the trip if only for the scenery. Discover more of the local history in Pier House - a restored Hanseatic Bod once used by German merchants.

History can be seen everywhere in Shetland. Built up through thousands of years of conquering rule and invasion, even today the islands are uncovering ancient clues and buried secrets dating back to Neolithic settlers.

With more than 6,000 archaeological sites, Shetland’s history is laid bare across the islands.

of Shetland, examples being the ancient Viking parliament of ‘Tingwall’ and jutting sea stacks the ‘Drongs’ in the North Mainland.

Top 5 Viking experiences

What history enthusiasts find so fascinating is the sheer variety on offer. Jarlshof in the South Mainland has examples of ancient housing spanning thousands of years, where you can see a Norse settlement, medieval farmstead, Iron Age broch and Pictish wheelhouses in close proximity.

The islanders embrace their local dialect; a keen ear will be able to detect variations on the mother tongue depending on which island you visit. With both Scots and Nordic roots, expect to hear words such as peerie (small), wir (our), du (you) and dy (your) peppered in conversation.

1. Up Helly Aa - visit Lerwick on the last Tuesday of January to watch this spectacular parade and burning of the Viking longship.

There is evidence that more than 100 Iron Age brochs once stood on Shetland. There is a fine example at Clickimin in Lerwick, as well as the Old Scatness Broch, a major archaeological dig which is rich in artefacts. However when it comes to Shetland’s fortified towers, Mousa Broch is the star attraction. Following a short boat crossing from Sandwick to the Island of Mousa, you can climb the narrow steps to the top. Standing at a height of more than 13 m, you will be rewarded with fantastic views out to Mousa sound.

Inspired by their surrounding, Shetlanders have a strong creative streak which can be seen in everything from writing, storytelling and folklore to traditional music, knitwear, lace and other crafts.

Shetland is of course most famous for its Viking heritage, with the Norse influence deeply ingrained in the language, culture and heritage of the isles.

The arrival of the Vikings marked a vital turning point in Shetland’s history with reminders of these ferocious warriors everywhere. Norse settlers gave names not only to places but almost every feature

■ A treasure trove of silver thought to have been hidden from the Vikings beneath the floor of an early Christian Church on St Ninian’s Isle was found by a schoolboy in 1958.

■ There is an interpretive centre at the Old Scatness Broch archaeological dig, with tours running throughout the summer months.

■ The Shetland Bus was a major operation during WWII to ferry agents and equipment into Nazi-occupied Norway by fishing boat and maintain contact with resistance groups.

■ Mousa, Old Scatness and Jarlshof in 2011 moved a step closer to becoming UNESCO world heritage sites after making it onto a UK shortlist known as the ‘tentative’ list.

2. Up Helly Aa Exhibition during the summer months you can see the history of Up Helly Aa, along with photos and the Jarl Squad suits from the last 10 years.

Join a tour taken by local historians and storytellers and witness Shetland’s customs, traditions and folklore brought to life. Discover what life was like in the 18th century as you explore Lerwick’s historic lanes or sit around a peat fire and hear tales of smugglers, shipwrecks and how imaginative islanders avoided the dreaded press gangs.

There are a number of tours available - check with a VisitScotland Information Centre for more information.

3. Viking Unst Project experience life as a Viking on the island that has more rural Viking longhouses than any other island in the world.

4. Shetland Museum - houses a fascinating collection of artefacts which relate to all aspects of the islands' history including its archaeological sites.

Shetland has a worldwide reputation as a hotbed of musical creativity. The fiddle in particular has evolved over the centuries since it was introduced to the isles in the 1700s. You can see a number of cultural influences in the way it is played today, from Greenland whaling tunes to the Nordic reels brought in by fishermen and sea farers. For a flavour of Shetland’s thriving traditional music scene, a well timed visit to one of Lerwick’s bars will more than likely reward visitors with an informal fiddle session, with local musicians gathering together to trade tunes and entertain fellow patrons. The more organised can join some of the fantastic music events and festivals taking place throughout the year.

5. Jarlshof - vikings from Norway settled at Jarlshof in the ninth century and this excavated longhouse provides evidence of some 12 to 16 generations.

There are a number of museums in Shetland where you can unravel this fascinating history and culture.

The Shetland Museum and Archives in Lerwick is an absolute must-visit, with displays on everything from Shetland’s geological beginnings to the present day. There is also a scattering of local museums worth adding to a day of touring, such as the Crofthouse Museum in Boddam, the Tangwick Haa Museum in Eshaness, The Cabin in Vidlin, the Old Haa in Yell and many more besides.

Creative islands Nowhere else in Europe is life on land so greatly affected by the sea; Shetland’s character and identity is truly shaped by its geographical location.

Relying on local materials and using timehonoured skills, Shetland is home to a diverse range of arts and crafts, from the famous Fair Isle knitwear and textiles to boatbuilding.

The visual arts scene has flourished in recent years and can be appreciated all across the isles. Most well-known is the Bonhoga Gallery in Weisdale, which houses a regularly changing programme of exhibits with contributions from local and international artists, with Da Gadderie at the Shetland Museum and Archives in Lerwick and the Old Haa in Yell also showing a variety of works.

Beautiful jewellery inspired by the mythology, heritage and nature of the isles is handcrafted, often using Shetland gemstones. Visitors are welcome to watch the work in progress before browsing the pieces available to buy. For more jewellery inspired

by Viking designs, there is also Rosalyn Thompson and Hnoss Jewellery.

Fair Isle knitwear, which once made its way around the world when it was used to barter with passing ships for spirits and tobacco, continues as a thriving trade. The famous pattern comes in all shapes and sizes, with contemporary styles a popular choice for souvenirs and gifts. Fine Shetland lace is still spun by hand resulting in a material so fine you can pull a shawl through a wedding ring.

A new Craft Trail outlines where Shetland’s studios and workshops are based, so you can watch the traditional skills used to produce fine crafts. Pick up a leaflet from a VisitScotland Information Centre and find everything from textiles to photography, with a warm welcome at each stop.

Boatbuilding has seen something of a revival in recent years, with traditional Shetland boats modelled on early Viking versions. You can view examples in the three-storey boat hall at the Shetland Museum. The highly acclaimed collection at the Unst Boat Haven at Haroldswick provides an insight into the history of fishing in Shetland, with replica boats lined along the shingle beach.

As 2012 is the Year of Creative Scotland, there will be a range of events taking place to celebrate the diverse cultures and traditions shaping the nation. The Olympic Torch is due to arrive in Shetland on 10 June as part of the relay en route to the 2012 Olympic Games in London. A number of themed events will be held alongside the torch www.visitscotland.com/surprisecreative.

Explore Shetland during this time and witness how the ever-changing light and landscapes of these magical islands continue to inspire local and visiting artists - from the rugged volcanic cliffs, lochs and geos to the eerily beautiful twilight hours of the ‘Simmer Dim’ and mysterious Mirrie Dancers (Northern Lights), which are more likely to be seen in the winter months.

"Our location has by its very nature engendered a self-reliance that provides for all the usual needs of a community of just over 22,000 people. This same self-reliance places creativity at the heart of the community - self generated entertainment and creative outlets have supported the community through long winter nights and summer days for generations."

Gwilym Gibbons, Director, Shetland Arts Development Agency

Visit Shetland and immediately you will recognise that this landscape nurtures a unique and varied biodiversity. Experience a coastline colonised by a million nesting seabirds, nutrient-rich moorland and heathland terrain where rare plants and nesting birds thrive.

It’s easy to see why naturalists visit Shetland in their droves. Wildlife cameraman and presenter Simon King spent a year filming the isles for his Shetland Diaries television series and memorably captured footage of killer whales on the hunt for seals, otters foraging along seaweed-rich beaches and feisty great skuas diving overhead. There is no shortage of trips and tours to satisfy any wildlife enthusiast hoping for a similar experience. Stop at a VisitScotland Information Centre for advice on local tour operators.

For ground birds, the island of Fetlar is the stronghold for rare breeders like whimbrel and the island boasts more than 90 percent of the British breeding population of red-necked phalaropes.

The island of Fair Isle is a must-visit for bird watchers as the new Fair Isle Bird Observatory continues its pioneering studies on bird migrations and remains a top destination to see rare migrant birds in spring and autumn.

Visit the cliffs of Sumburgh Head, Noss or Hermaness to see the spectacle of thousands of nesting seabirds, including gannets, guillemots, kittiwakes, razorbills, puffins and many more, depending on the season.

Along the coastline you can spot an abundance of seals, while further out to sea look out for species

such as harbour porpoise, white-beaked and Risso’s dolphins. The Vikings referred to Whalsay as ‘island of the whales’ and this stretch of water remains a great place to spot minke whales and orca.

Back on dry land, Shetland's world-famous small ponies can be seen throughout the islands - grazing by the roadside, on the beaches or on the heathery hills. This unique and hardy breed, appear to roam wild, but the ponies are, in fact, all owned and tended to by local people. They can be seen in many parts of Shetland including the West Mainland, Tingwall, Dunrossness and the island of Unst.

Amateur botanists meanwhile can take delight in any outdoor pursuit, be it exploring the shores of beautiful sandy beaches and cliff-top ‘hanging gardens’ or cycling along roadsides. Shetland has a wide range of indigenous plants which have adapted to the islands’ unique habitats and you can see beautiful displays of sea pinks, red campion, roseroot and spring squill, as well as the world’s only example of Edmonston’s chickweed (also known as Shetland mouse-ear) in Unst.

The archipelago has the most diverse landscapes for an area its size anywhere in Europe, all due to an astonishing range of rocks and formations. Witness the dark purple volcanic layers of the Eshaness cliffs, a remarkable example of the Great Glen Fault at the Back Sands beach in Ollaberry and the UK’s largest active tombolo at St Ninian’s Isle.

A visit to the Museum and Archives in Lerwick will uncover more about this geological journey, but nothing beats getting out and seeing it for real at a wide range of events, exhibits, self-guide trails and information panels throughout the isles.

Three National Nature Reserves (NNR) 1. Noss - this small uninhabited island, famous for its vast seabird colony, is nestled behind the larger island of Bressay and best experienced by boat from Lerwick Harbour.

2. Hermaness - conservation efforts at this NNR in Unst have ensured a lively community of bonxies (great skuas), which breed over the rare blanket bog habitat.

3. Keen of Hamar - the lunar-like landscape on this second NNR in Unst is home to one of the most impressive communities of flowers in north west Europe.

Get active outdoors Varied landscapes and miles of unspoilt coastline ensure that Shetland is a world-class destination for outdoor pursuits, all with facilities to match.

This archipelago has a fascinating maritime history, a tradition which is continued with excellent facilities for visiting yachts and cruisers. With more than 100 islands, Shetland offers an unrivalled challenge to sailing enthusiasts and Lerwick’s lively harbour becomes a hub of activity during summer. Lerwick regularly hosts large scale regattas and events, but there are also modern marinas and high-quality piers and anchorages to be found in scenic inlets and voes all over the isles.

The Shetland Race, where sailing yachts travel from Bergen to Lerwick in the last weekend of June, has just marked its 25th anniversary and is popular with locals and visitors alike. The Race is accompanied by a programme of lively events on dry land, while a crew match facility is available for those looking to take part, either crew members seeking a berth on a yacht or for yachts seeking additional crew.

Shetland is a popular destination for watersports, with surfing in Sumburgh and windsurfing favoured around Sandness and Sandwick. The clear waters of Shetland’s shores attract divers keen to explore underwater stacks, cliffs and caves, not to mention the fascinating sea life.

From World War I steamers to fishing trawlers, scuba divers can find hundreds of interesting wrecks around the island, with more just waiting to be discovered.

Sea kayaking is a great way to explore the sheltered bays and otherwise inaccessible sea cliffs, which make up more than a thousand miles of coastline.

Combining beautiful scenery, archaeological sites and wildlife, Shetland is a walker’s paradise.

Discover countless routes taking in sweeping heathery hills, inland sea lochs and stunning coastal scenery. Follow the Fethaland circular 01 Sea kayaks off Bressay.

in Northmavine to see the largest of Shetland’s historic fishing stations and base for the ‘far haaf’ - a name given to the fishing expeditions which ventured 50 miles out to the edge of the continental shelf. Or test yourself in one of the country’s last wilderness areas and take on the Hermaness circular in Unst. Experience mighty sea stacks and cliff-top scenery as you look out to the lighthouse at Muckle Flugga, with Outstack being the most northerly point of the British Isles.

There are waymarked walks all over the islands; rich in history, wildlife and breathtaking scenery.

Information and a walking guide are available from a VisitScotland Information Centre.

Those looking to enjoy the changing landscapes by bike can explore more than a thousand miles of quality roads, tracks and off-road terrain. You can hire a bike for the duration of your trip.

Home to more than 300 lochs full of trout, it is little wonder Shetland is so popular with anglers.

Fishing in Shetland is relatively cheap and largely unrestricted, so visiting anglers are spoilt for choice and can move around easily if the fish are not biting. For those looking to try a spot of sea fishing, cod, halibut, ling and mackerel are on offer. Boats are available for hire and there are local competitions and festivals throughout summer.

Shetland Golf Club’s 18-hole course at Dale, just outside Lerwick, is sheltered by a deep valley, ensuring beautiful views and quality greens year round. There is another very attractive 9-hole course at Asta near Scalloway and further north you can also play 18 holes at Skaw on the island of Whalsay. With its beautiful coastal views, exposed location and testing moorland terrain, this course is considered a real island gem.

With a huge number of crags, geos and cliffs dotted around the coastline, it is little wonder climbing has become such a popular activity in recent years. Climb Shetland is a dedicated climbing club organising climbs across the island all year round. There is also a climbing wall at the Clickimin Leisure Centre in Lerwick where inductions are carried out by qualified instructors.

“While Shetland's legendary sea trout are a well-known attraction for the angler, the wild brown trout in our freshwater lochs are one of angling's bestkept secrets. Thanks to careful management, superb fish are to be found in more than 300 lochs scattered all around the islands, ready to be tempted by a fly or spinner.”

Alec Miller, Shetland Angling Association

A taste of Shetland

01

Shetland is the ideal location for a culinary adventure. Characterised by unspoilt and fertile landscapes, clear coastal waters and with traditional recipes honed over generations, the island fare is highly rated for its quality and distinct taste.

History plays no small part in shaping Shetland’s unique menu. The tradition of preserving meat and fish is still a way of life for the crofting community, with salt fish and reestit mutton highly rated amongst the island’s prized produce. Reestit mutton - meat which is pickled then hung to dry - provides a delicious stock for tattie soup before it is savoured with freshly baked bannocks.

The production of Shetland cheese is enjoying something of a renaissance, with handmade cheeses created from local herds the old fashioned way. Visit Shetland Cheese Ltd in Skeld and sample a delicious range of cheeses - be sure to include Shetland Cheddar, which is aged for six months in cloth to develop a fuller flavour.

The sea provides an endless source of inspiration for restaurants across the isles, with delicious fresh seafood served up alongside locally sourced vegetables, such as native Shetland black potatoes and kale.

Shellfish can be found in abundance, with mussel farms now a common sight in the inlets of water known as voes. Plump Shetland mussels, which are grown on ropes in the sea, are considered better quality because they never come into contact with the seabed. Such is the quality, you will see Shetland mussels routinely served up in restaurants and bistros up and down the country.

Lovers of seafood will be greeted by delicious mackerel, scallops, lobster, not to mention smoked salmon and gravlax.

Livestock graze over wide open spaces, from the seaweed-rich shore to the heather-clad hills, an environment that ensures Shetland’s mutton and lamb are considered amongst the best in the world.

Shetland also lays claim to the UK’s most northerly brewery, which benefits from the pure waters on the island of Unst. Valhalla Brewery produces a range of award-winning ales, which can be sampled during a leisurely private tour or simply in one of the friendly pubs and bars across the island.

Visit Britain’s most northerly farmers’ markets in Unst, Yell, Vidlin, Walls, Bixter and Tingwall to meet the producers and pick up mouthwatering serving tips. The Shetland Food Festival in November will host a range of exciting foodie events, including cookery demonstrations by those who know how to get the best from land and sea.

When it comes to eating out, there is something to suit every taste and budget. Try informal dining in one of Lerwick’s culinary institutions, Monty’s Bistro. Nestled up a lane from the Market Cross, look for the lunchtime specials board - changed daily depending on what’s in season - for a real showcase of Shetland produce. For an evening meal with panoramic views of Lerwick Harbour, Hay’s Dock is found in the Shetland Museum and Archives and specialises in fine dining.

For those touring the islands, the café at the Bonhoga Gallery in Weisdale and the Braewick Cafe in Eshaness both offer afternoon tea in beautiful surroundings.

■ For an authentic experience of Shetland life you can join Island Trails tour ‘In Aboot da Night’, where you can sample traditional fare and enjoy storytelling in a warm and cosy setting overlooking beautiful St Ninian’s Isle.

■ Shetland’s prized picnic spots include the stunning Eshaness cliffs, the perfect sand tombola at St Ninian’s Isle and Meal Beach in Burra.

■ If you are touring the local parishes on a Sunday, there’s a good chance of coming across one of the Sunday Teas held in village halls, where the locals enjoy an afternoon tea of delicious homebakes, with the proceeds going to charity.

Shetland is proud of its traditions and the islanders always find something to celebrate, from Europe’s largest fire festival to the island’s unique brand of music or delicious local produce.

Visit Shetland in January for Up Helly Aa, Europe's largest annual fire festival, where the Viking Jarl Squad parade through Lerwick with burning torches before setting alight the replica longship. There are local celebrations throughout February and March, all of which culminate in singing and dancing long into the night.

Spring ushers in the ever popular Shetland Folk Festival. Visit in June and July and you can join the party as yachts arrive from Bergen to drop anchor in Lerwick for the Shetland Races. Or experience the islands’ wild side at the Shetland Nature Festival.

In September the book and film festivals get underway, while you can pick up unique gifts at the Shetland Craft Fair in November.

With 2012 the Year of Creative Scotland, expect to see examples of Shetland's arts and crafts scene laid out across the isles in the form of events and exhibitions which showcase local talent.

16

For music lovers, there’s everything from the Shetland Accordion & Fiddle Festival to the fantastic seven-day Shetland Fiddle Frenzy, where you can even join workshops and sessions to learn tunes in the Shetland fiddle style.

Of course there is more to Shetland than just traditional music. The story of Thomas Fraser is a wonderful insight into a hugely enigmatic talent, and one which is celebrated with the annual Thomas Fraser Memorial Festival in Hamnavoe.

A real hidden gem, music fans are advised to get tickets early for this unique festival in November.

Visit Shetland, discover the great variety on offer and experience life on Scotland’s most northerly islands.

“Shetland's internationally acclaimed traditional music heritage, famously built around the fiddle, is seen as just one of the islands' many unique features and is one of the primary reasons people choose to visit Shetland. From major festivals to regular traditional pub sessions, and everything in between, Shetland can rightly claim to be a genuinely musically gifted group of islands.”

Travel tips

01

Shetland is the most northerly point of British soil; sitting in the middle of a triangle between Norway, the Faroe Islands and Scotland. Fortunately getting to and around these remarkable islands is simple - and when it comes to hopping between the isles on a ferry or via a 15-minute plane ride, the journey is often just as memorable as the destination.

By ferry

Inter-island ferries

Get the ferry from Aberdeen, which leaves every evening, and start your break as soon as you step aboard the cruise-style ship. The ferry takes around 12 hours to travel between Aberdeen and Lerwick, generally arriving before 7am. Early risers might be greeted by the sight of Fair Isle in the distance, before passing by Sumburgh Head and docking in Lerwick Harbour.

With so many islands worth visiting as part of a touring itinerary, it is often a pleasant surprise to visitors how simple it is to travel around Shetland.

Drive-on, drive-off ferries operate between all of the larger inhabited islands, including Bressay, Whalsay, Yell and Unst, and are fast, frequent and relied upon by locals just as much as they are by visitors. Booking is advisable, particularly at peak times.

Due to its location Shetland is also a popular cruise ship destination, with visits throughout the islands all year. Popular ports of visit include Lerwick, Fair Isle and Scalloway.

Scotland’s Star Quality!

- A simple, impartial, consistent approach to quality

VisitScotland, under the Scottish Tourist Board brand, runs the star grading schemes which assess the quality standards of all types of accommodation and visitor attractions from castles and historic houses to garden centres and arts venues. We quality assure over 70 percent of the accommodation in Scotland and 90 percent of the visitor attractions – so wherever you want to stay or visit, we’ve got it covered. Each establishment is reviewed once a year.

We do the hard work so you can relax and enjoy your holiday.

How does the system work?

Graded visitor attractions

A consistent standard wherever you stay

Visitor attractions from tourist shops and museums to leisure centres and tours are graded with 1 - 5 stars depending on their level of customer care. The focus is on the standard of hospitality and service as well as presentation, quality of shop or cafĂŠ (if there is one) and toilet facilities.

The promise of the stars:

Â?

it is clean, tidy and an acceptable, standard

Â?Â? Â?Â?Â?

it is a good, all round standard

Â?Â?Â?Â?

it is excellent – furnished using high quality materials, surperb food where provided and friendly, professional service

it is a very good standard, with attention to detail in every area

Our advisors visit and assess establishments on up to 50 areas from quality, comfort and cleanliness to welcome, ambience and service. The same star scheme runs in England and Wales, so you can follow the stars wherever you go.

Â?Â?Â?Â?Â? an exceptional standard where

It should be noted that those establishments that fail to meet our minimum standards will not be awarded a star rating.

Establishments awarded gold stars have consistently achieved the highest levels of excellence within their star grading.

presentation, ambience, food where provided and service are hard to fault

We grade all types of accommodation from hostels, through to B&Bs and self catering properties to hotels grand and small. We even grade campus accommodation and parks offering holiday homes and camping. So whether you prefer to spend the night under canvas or the canopy of a four-poster bed, we’ll make sure you know the standard to expect.

VisitScotland introduces our new Holiday Parks Quality Assurance Scheme

You told us you wanted our star awards to better reďŹ&#x201A;ect the aspects which impact on your enjoyment of your Scottish park holiday, so we listened and now focus on the things that you told us are important to you.

This has resulted in changes to the level of awards given to some parks but you can still be assured of the same high level of customer service and all the facilities youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become accustomed to from Scottish Holiday Parks.

DISCOVER SHETLAND’S GREAT INDOORS!

Wherever you go in Shetland you’re never far from fitness and fun thanks to the Shetland Recreational Trust.

The idea behind the Shetland Recreational Trust was to use some of Shetland’s oil revenue to provide ‘facilities for whole communities to meet, socialise and play. They will be a major attraction for local residents and will be important facilities in the attraction of tourists’.

There’s nothing quite like the Shetland Recreational Trust anywhere else. Since the first facility opened in 1985 the trust has built up an impressive network of 8 leisure facilities within easy reach of the vast majority of Shetland’s 22,000 population - and the thousands of visitors who are astonished at the quality and quantity of recreation facilities at the northern tip of Britain.

Shetlanders and visitors alike have responded by flocking to the facilities. Usage levels are much higher than anyone expected - almost 725,000 visits were recorded for the period 2010/2011 – proving just how exceptional our facilities are.
