A scenic view of Shetland Islands

Mainland, the largest island in the Shetland archipelago, is home to the capital of Lerwick, which offers interesting shops, cafés, and an excellent heritage museum. At the southern tip, Sumburgh Head is a great place to see nesting puffins in spring and summer, and to explore the archaeological sites of Jarlshof and the Old Scatness Iron Age broch and village. At the northern end, the cliffs of Eshaness offer fantastic coastal walking and adventure opportunities for experienced climbers. Nearby Braewick Café and Caravan Park has room for tents and campers, as well as a handful of glamping cabins. You can also explore different options for camping near Shetland Islands on Hipcamp.
