Shetland Islands

Motorhome Stopovers in Shetland Islands

Shetland is the UK’s most northerly point — Muckle Flugga lighthouse, north of Unst, is further north than Bergen in Norway. Jarlshof archaeological site near Sumburgh Head preserves overlapping settlements from the Bronze Age through Viking Age to early modern period, one of the most remarkable multi-period sites in Europe. Shetland ponies are native and still common on the moorland, the Up Helly Aa fire festival in January is Europe’s largest fire festival, and the 1,400 miles of coastline means you are never more than three miles from the sea.
