Orkney
& Shetland Islands
 |
Your
first experience of Shetland may be the view of the archipelago of islands from a plane's
window. Or it might be the vista of distant cliffs seen from the rail of a ferry steaming
towards Lerwick.
Ruled for more than 600 years by Scandinavia and then given as a dowry to Scotland, the
islands have a unique blend of culture.
There are miles of beautiful sandy beaches to explore as well as Neolithic burial chambers
made from stone and turf, as well as Brochs standing from 5m to 13m high, erected for
defense by the Iron Age tribes of Northern Britain.
