About Shetland
Lerwick - The Base Camp…
During your pleasure stay or business trip it makes sense to make this attractive and energetic sea-port town, Shetland’s main town, your natural base. Lerwick is the heart of Shetland. All roads lead to Rome – or in this case Lerwick – and this interesting and vibrant town offers easy access to all parts of Shetland and is therefore the ideal base location for all visitors.
With its busy and charming harbour – one of the best natural harbours in Scotland – there’s always something to see and boat trips are available both from and round the harbour. Check out the 17th and 18th century architectural remains and imposing Victorian houses – the Lodberries (trading stores, houses and piers on the sea front) – Museum and Böd of Gremista Museum, and individual Shetland craft shopping facilities for that must-have purchase. You’ll also find the traditional knitting crafts and local jewellery well represented. The charming Library has free internet access and houses the Shetland Collection of rare books – the Archive Centre being the place to go for old documents.
Exploring Shetland from Lerwick is easy and fun with island hopping by air – regular services to the outer islands, ferry services operating from various Shetland ports and the inter-island ferry services’ regular timetable. Travel by car becomes a long-forgotten pleasure again with low volume traffic and excellent signage and roads. It’s ll easy and fun and you’ll love it. Details available from Brudolff Hotels reception areas.
