Shetland

The Shetland Isles are far from the mainland but remain distinctly Scottish. Take an adventure... 

An archipelago to the far north of Scotland, Shetland is geographically closer to Norway yet retains a very distinctive Scottish culture. Made up of more than 100 islands, just 15 of which are inhabited, with dramatic scenery and more than 6,000 years of history, the Shetland Isles make the ultimate adventure destination.
