- This is a short video that was made for the Taste of Shetland's 2020 virtual Food & Drink Festival. This short film takes you on a virtual tour of Lerwick's waterfront where we find out why Lerwick is so important to food and drink in Shetland.
Greetings from Australia, thanks for the tour video.
Fantastic to hear such a fantastic authentic accent. I’m visiting Lerwick in March, and now know how to pronounce it. Thank you so much. I’ll bring my wellies and Mac.
Fantastic, Laurie! My mum and her family came to Canada from Shetland in the 1920s. I took her to visit in 1999 and after COVID am dying to return! I had to cancel my Up Helly Aa trip Jan 2020. :( Love hearing the Shetland accent! A+ !!!
Thank you, that's so kind - although that is my very best English! I hope you get to make the trip north soon :)
Hi I visited the Iyland off Arran it was very nice place to be. I am wishing to visit the Shetland soon. I will be looking for a Guide and advise on we're to stop at for a week or two for myself and my two children and maybe my cat. Thank you. Good video well done. Can you rent a allotment at the Shetland. Cheers 😊👍
Intelligent and charming . Subscribed from the Dalmatian Island ❤
Well presented thank you!
Hi I am interested in visiting Lerwick. We're is a good Bed and Breakfast to stop in. I would not think there are any holidays in the Winter if there was I would probably visit Winter and Summer. I like your video and will be watching lot's more. Brilliant. Dobspato England Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Very interesting video.well done👍
Many thanks :)
am I the only dumbass trying to find Jimmy Perez or Tosh walking around somewhere in the back?
I would love to buy you a coffee but you have not replied to me as yet lol. How much difference is there between The Iyland off Arran and the Shetland Iyland. Thank you. I have messaged about three people that live and come from the Shetland but had no reply from anyone yet. I hope I don't talk silly. I am just interested in visiting the Shetland with my two daughters Phoebe 15 Sophie 9 year's old and one day my cat. Thank you again.
Thank you
You're welcome!
😍
"...and I may add some more if there’s an appetite for it.

Beg to report I'm starvin' for it. Extra helpings please.
Haha, brilliant! Yes, I need to do more - I'm hopeless at RUclips!
Can you explain why you don’t pronounce the “wi” in LerWIck. Thanks!
It's just a local pronunciation. Many of the place names are pronounced differently than they appear on the maps. Much of the reason for this is because when the map makers visited Shetland, they anglicised the words that they heard.
I wish there were English subtitles too. I'm an American, and I had a great deal of trouble understanding a lot of what she said! LOL
Binge watch all five seasons of Shetland and then try again. She is speaking English, but has a bit of an accent. English speakers really are separated by a common language!
Also if you listen to her podcasts you will be able to understand her more as you learn the Shetland language. Her podcasts are very good.
Hi Denise, apologies if you struggle with the accent. I felt that subtitles would be distracting - the language is, in essence, English, and if you tune in an ear, you will pick it up much quicker than you would had there been subtitles. I did a podcast all about language and the importance of speaking it - you'll find that on my Shetland with Laurie podcast (available on Spotify and Apple podcasts).
Thanks Bethene - that is my very best English. Accents and dialects are what make life so vibrant, I love hearing people's accents from all over the world, it's fascinating.
Thank you, glad that you enjoy listening to the podcast!!
Couldn't hear a word ...
Did you check that you had the audio on? Try again and check that the video is not muted :)
I could not understand a single word she said !
