About Shetland
Retreat…
Shetland speaks in colour – deep blue and emerald sea and land, fuschia and gold of sunset, purples and pinks of heathered hills, swirling greys, carmines and yellows of rock, the shimmering opalescence of the sweet, heady air and in winter the velvet black of the night sky where you can reach up and touch the nearness of silver stars or witness the wonder of the Merry Dancers (Northern Lights) choreographed in greens, reds and white.
Shetland gives you space to breathe!
Here the birds outnumber the people by 43:1. Even the sheep roaming over the hills have a population over 14 times larger than the human one of an estimated 23,000. Here you really can do remote – so difficult nowadays – and retreat into a world of exploration and time for yourself.
The long, lazy days of summer where the sun shines for up to 19 hours, with the remainder just the period of twilight known as ‘Simmer Dim’ will restore your sense of wonder and your soul. Every season in Shetland has its own fascination and the movement of nature never stops. Be inspired by long walks over soft sands, tranquil hills and secluded shores.
