Shetland Islands: Lerwick, Scotland
Recorded September 2, 2008.
Shetland is an archipelago in Scotland, off the northeast coast. The islands lie to the northeast of Orkney, 170 miles from the Faroe Islands and form part of the division between the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the North Sea to the east. The largest island, known as Mainland, has an area of 374 square miles, making it the third-largest Scottish island and the fifth-largest of the British Isles. Lerwick is the capital and main port of the Shetland Islands, located more than 100 miles off the north coast of mainland Great Britain on the east coast of the Shetland Mainland. Lerwick is about 210 miles north of Aberdeen, 230 miles west of Bergen in Norway and 230 miles south east of Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands. Lerwick, Shetland's only burgh, had a population of approximately 7,070 residents and is the most northerly town in Scotland.
This is the fourth and final video taken in the Shetland Islands this day. In this video I explore the town of Lerwick on foot and then go back to the ship for the sail away from the Shetland Islands.

Lerwick is the main port of the Shetland Islands, Scotland, located more than 100 miles off the north coast of mainland Scotland on the east coast of the Shetland Mainland. Lerwick is about 210 miles (340 km) north-northeast of Aberdeen, 230 miles (370 km) west of Bergen in Norway and 230 miles (370 km) south east of Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands.
Lerwick is a busy fishing and ferry port. The harbour also services vessels supporting the offshore oil industry. Significant buildings in Lerwick include Fort Charlotte, Lerwick Town Hall, the Böd of Gremista, Shetland Museum and Archives and Clickimin Broch.
Because of the historic nature of the area, some scenes from BBC's Shetland (TV series) were filmed in Lerwick. Lerwick is served by the Tingwall Airport located a few miles away and Sumburgh Airport that is further south and flies all year to some Scotland destinations.
Northlink Ferries operate a daily overnight ferry service between Lerwick and Aberdeen, regularly calling in to Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands. The Shetland Islands Council operate a ro-ro ferry service to Out Skerries and Bressay from a terminal in the centre of the town. Lerwick has three schools; Bell's Brae Primary School, Sound Primary School and Anderson High School.
Lerwick has strong ties with Scandinavian countries, particularly Norway (Lerwick has a friendship agreement with Måløy in Norway), and this is reflected in the street names of Lerwick (e.g. King Harald Street, King Haakon Street). Lerwick is the focus of most events in Shetland, including the largest of the annual Up Helly-Aa fire festivals which takes place on the last Tuesday of January every year.
( Lerwick - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Lerwick . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Lerwick - UK

A very warm welcome to the first video in what hopefully will be a series flying to the scottish airports served by the virtual airline Fly UK Highland connection service.
I am sure that I will make plenty of mistakes along this journey for example i make a major howler at the end of this one but i won't be editing them out, it's all a learning process for me but also an enjoyable one.
Hope you enjoy the video and please do add any comments or suggestions.
