Mainland Shetland
Visiting Western Mainland is like taking a step back in time to the days where life was unhurried. Take virtually any side road and you will eventually find yourself on a deserted coastal walk, with time and space to reflect upon your plans and dreams.
Northern Mainland is full of stark and beautiful contrasts -find yourself sharing a tranquil beach with nothing but your dreams and aspirations, and wonder at the strength and majesty of the Atlantic Ocean as you take in the breathtaking beauty of St Magnus Bay. For a more gentle assault on the senses, South Mainland is home to ancient unconvered artifacts at Jarlshof - a chance to lose yourself in history and lose yourself in life.
Completing an island of contrasts, Central Mainland is full of contradictions and unexpected delights. Scalloway Castle dominates the fishing port of Scalloway, whilst if you travel a little further north you will discover the magical landscape of Tingwall Valley, where native wild flowers scent the breeze.
