Unique culture, stunning seascapes and abundant wildlife is what you will find when you decide to holiday on one of the Shetland islands. Shetland is an entrancing blend of Scotland and Norway. Shetland's scenery is surprisingly varied for such a small area and is often truly spectacular. Shetland is an archipelago off the northeast coast of Scotland. The islands lie to the northeast of Orkney, 280 km from the Faroe Islands. The islands' administrative centre and only burgh is Lerwick. The largest island, known as "Mainland," is the third-largest Scottish island and the fifth-largest of the British Isles. The islands offer everything from rocky crags and heather hills to fertile farmland, from sand dunes and pebble beaches to impressive cliffs. The following activities such as walking, windsurfing, fishing, cycling, beachcombing, bird-watching, scuba-diving, sailing, whale-watching, surfing or kayaking can be fully enjoyed.The network of well-maintained roads makes most of Shetland's scenery easily accessible to the visitor but it's well worth exploring off the main routes. For the motorist and cyclist, the side roads are a special delight in spring and early summer when the verges are festooned with wild flowers.
