I'm currently watching the series Shetland on Brit Box and the scenery just takes my breath away. Thanks for doing this. By the way that's Inspector Perez's house @1-44.
Just finish 2nd season and como to this. It is so beautiful
Im from shetland!, ive lived here all my life its very nice
Do you speak norn?
Are there hotels etc to stay? Best season to visit?
Let’s go same!
@@srinathradha7098 there one in Lerwick.
I ❤ Shetland, lived and worked there for 8 months last year….the best 8 months of my life!
Wonderful people, very warm and friendly. It’s remote but it’s worth it, stunning place .
Really, I've always wanted to live there. You would recommend it then?
Is it still British or is it multicultural like London?
@davidgalea6113 We (Shetland) are officially part of Scotland so therefore also part of Britain, for the present at least. But we are also multicultural to a much lesser degree than any big city. We have a small population of around 23,000 some of which are incomers from other countries in the UK & abroad. Most people here are very welcoming, but we all appreciate respect being shown by newcomers & visitors/tourists to our home & to people going about their business. Sadly I have witnessed tourists disrespectfully dropping litter when there was very obviously a bin near where they were sitting. Also just this weekend some tourists were verbally abusive to Shetland residents who were taking part in a lawful & peaceful silent demonstration. We are proud of our freedom here to demonstrate on any subjects we feel strongly about & anyone (including tourists) who try to interfere with this legal right will at best earn their country a bad reputation or possibly a delay in their holiday if they cross the line of our laws.
Brilliant place to visit , was there in November last year , ferry from Aberdeen superb service, oh and I am an Aberdonian
I just enjoyed 5 nights at the Queen's Hotel Lerwick (Could see the windows from my room on the video) and loved it. I watched people swimming every day. I went in but it was freezing. I went on a boat trip around the nearby Islands which was amazing. The bus service is really good & I saw a lot exploring the main Island. Hopefully I will get back & see a lot more next year
Wangarileednei Tribe, South Australian. Joining your tours for a while. Ive got foots in Shetland Island. Our ancestors sem tutu's & Im a sem tu! Thank You, Jo Wangar. 2023.
Hi Jo, that’s so cool to hear your story! Thank you for becoming a member too, you’re my first one, and I didn’t realise, it seems I don’t get notifications for these things 🙂 thank you for following along!
Thank you for your video, I'll visit the Shetland Islands next weekend, I can't wait :)
One of the best surveys of Shetland.
And I lived there.
Thanks Gordon
@@JoshGoesSlow what are the chances of renting a house around there? I've had enough of the mainland
@@ItzAdam03 Unless you're a millionaire, forget it.
Seriously, house prices are so high born and bred Shetlanders can't afford anything.
Simple rents are easily £1000+ per month.
And btw, the mainland is here in Shetland and we speak about "going down to Scotland".
A week in Shetland is not enough to see all of its beauty try a fortnight it is abreathtaking magical place.
I would love too have more time. I had originally booked 10 days but was cancelled due to covid. I could only manage a couple of days when I rescheduled.
Love it! Thank you!
Your videos are amazing. I love it
Very professionally-produced, stylish video ... pleasure to watch ... have always wanted to visit both Shetland & Orkney ... haven't made it yet ... but probably on next UK visit.
Thank you, this is great!
Shetland is a place of peace and dreams! Keep sharing

Good video a great place to go to be four times hope to go again
I shall be on holiday in Shetland in June can't wait to visit
"No chain shops!" Next shot: M&Co 😂 Seriously though a beautiful film and what incredible weather you got!
Haha, is it? I’ve never seen that. To be fair there was a tesco also. I guess I meant mostly independent 😀
Tesco, Co-Op, Jewson, Boots, Specsavers... 😉
Add Superdrug to that list now.
Eine wunderschöne Insel , bin immerwieder da , eine Insel der Natur, der Enspannung und der Freude an der Einfachheit des Lebens.
Great place shetland, good video.
Great place and good video been four times and hoping to go again this year to see my sister in law
Yesss most beautiful place
Interesting and beautiful
As a fan of desert islands, Shetland has long been on my to-visit list. But as the journey via the various ferries, continent - UK - Orkney - Shetland, takes longer, it won't be until I retire.
After all, the landscapes in between don't just have to be endured. . .
É um lugar fascinante muito bonito
Lovely video thanks for posting I’m definitely going there now .what time of the year was that video taken ?
best fish and chip shop is at the Fort cafe in Lerwick town centre just below Fort Charlotte. Frankies have gone a bit downhill and is very expensive.
Hi, nice video but just a small tip to say that Jarlshof is pronounced "Yarlshof".
It's the Nordic way of pronouncing J.
You might have seen the ferry Hjaltland and it's the same so you pronounce it "H-y-a-l-t-l-a-n-d".
The other thing is that despite Historic Scotland trying to make its stamp on us, we don't see ourselves as Scotland or being Scottish.
:)
Well said
I can't wait to visit the Shetland, thank you for existing !
Maybe visit Shetland and Orkney?
I visited Orkney in 2019 (pre Covid) car ferry from Gills Bay to St Margaret's Hope; a fantastic group of ancient islands. I've already arranged a week on Shetland next June, taking the car from Aberdeen to Lerwick. Took a self drive on the Western Islands a few months ago. All areas of Scotland have their own individual charm.
6It is lovely, especially the coastline, but I would miss trees after a while.
Nice video, not sure about spending a day here, it takes a day to get here and a day to get back to mainland Scotland.
1:43 Its Jimmy's house from Shetland series!!! am I right??
I believe so!
If you headed east from Lerwick you’d end up on Bressay
❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice video
Thank you
Try going round the outskirts of Lerwick with its estates and industrial units.
And your point is??
Lerwick's estates and industrial units are much infinitely more beautiful than London's.
It appears The Shetlands are not as hilly as the Faroe ?
There's a boots on Commercial street
Please, in what month have you visited Shetland? Thank you
The short answer to the titles question is "yes" !!!
Beautiful ? NO, count the trees. Interesting Yes. I did a tour of duty with the RAF at Saxa Vord and had time to visit most of Unst. The people were great and self reliant. Dialling 999 might not get the response you want but your neighbours will always help out.
Warning only visit Shetland during the summer!
Why is that? Just curious
@@charlieboy6695 the weather is absolutely horrible and even in the summer it feels like a 50/50 chance of good weather. Don’t let that put you off heading their if your planning to though.
i dont drive , do they have good public transport in this island? how long do you think i spent in this island?
They do have a bus and it goes to most the famous places. There were a few people in my hotel on their own without a car and seemed like they managed ok
I like the library. I dont
Believe
It all looks beautiful, but what about the work there? How much does a house cost there or to rent an apartment/house? How much does public transport cost there, how accessible is medical care, a dentist, a hospital, and what is the level of all that there? The video can bear anything, but the reality is often somewhere else entirely. But yes, the video is wonderful. Greetings from Glasgow ;-)
I used to work at the hospital there, like all island nations things aren’t always easy like being on the mainland, but what a place!!
Put it this way, if you're going to come here with the intention to live here then you've really got to want to live here!! Very pricey for some things but other things are not too bad. Rent can be very expensive as we have lots of travelling workers here for big construction projects but overall the house prices aren't too bad. My 3 bed semi with detached garage in the main town is about £210k ish. Plenty of work, nearly 100% employment since the mid 70's. Health care and nhs dentists is about the same as Scotland, rather patchy! The weather is the killer, damp and windy, very windy, but when you do get good weather there's no better place in the UK! Best to come for yourself and make your own mind up!
Does it snow on the Shetland Islands?
Of course it does! We're only 6 degrees south of the Arctic Circle 😉
Barely. Being surrounded by the sea means that temperatures are decreased in summer and increased in winter compared to the mainland.
Dude it would be nice if you spent a little mor time on the signs so we read and learn more!
Shetland city look like in 1991 old city
Where is lyric. Never heard of it.
Lerwick !
I lived there from 1991 to 1996 and whilst it can be beautiful it's not nearly the most beautiful in the UK. Theres pretty much no trees! Better off visiting the national park areas in all the countries of the UK.
Hi I wanted ask if someone wanted to move there is it worthwhile moving
Lerrick?
"Lerick" or "Lerook" (it varies around the islands) is Shetland dialect for "Lerwick" (our town).
@@minskysfeedbackyianni1302 So the difference between the Norse wick as in Lerwick and the Anglo Saxon wick as in Berwick is a myth?
@allrounder7003 I'm not learned enough on the subject to answer that but I would suppose it is simply more to do with language & pronunciation being an ever changing thing. "Lerick" is probably the more common pronunciation here.
Inkster
Um, Lerwick is NOT Shetland's only town. There are lots of incorrect statements in this video!
I’m sure I get things wrong, I’m not from there and only know what I researched. If you google “how many towns in Shetland” it says lerwick is the only town. This is on the Shetland.org website. If there is misinformation there I’m sorry, and you should tell them.
@@JoshGoesSlow the next largest settlement is Scalloway which is viewed by the majority of islanders as a village so yes Lerwick is the only town! Well done on your pronunciations of place names in a good attempt at the local dialect!

Great images, informative narrative, dreadful background music.

shitland hahha
Golf courses, the best way to ruin any landscape by pandering to the rich and entitled ones. :/
I would usually agree, however the one in the park here is free to use. Which I think is brilliant.
There are low cost, public access, golf courses all over the world. These courses, like the one on Shetland, are really just parkland where people are free to wander around without playing golf.
£200 to £300 approx. here for an annual membership - “working class” football prices are at the other end of the scale!
The one in the video is a free to use municipal course, which if I'm honest isn't all that great and is more for a very non serious game!
