Why Visit Shetland Islands?
The Shetland Islands offer tourists the chance to escape from modernity and get back to Mother Nature at her best and most ragged. A perfect trip for ramblers. While visiting the islands, tourists should be sure to pay a trip to Lerwick. The capital is a bustling hub of life, and its grand Victorian buildings are a sight to behold. Established in the 17th century, Lerwick is known for becoming Europes largest herring town in the 19th century and today it is a major base for those who work on the North Sea oil rigs.
