What To Expect

Lerwick

*Please note, this itinerary is based on starting in Lerwick. If you choose a meeting point elsewhere in Shetland, the order of stops will be different, but all stops will be covered. We start our exploration of Shetland's past in the islands' capital: Lerwick. Once a small fishing village built to service Dutch herring fleets, Lerwick is now the largest settlement and only town in Shetland. We'll visit Fort Charlotte, built to protect the islands during the First Anglo-Dutch War in 1652/3. Next, spend some time wandering through "the Lanes", a series of narrow passageways built between the 17th & 19th centuries which are now a conservation area. We'll conclude our Lerwick walk at the Town Hall with its impressive stained glass windows.

    Tour guide Neville was great - he knew his stuff, answered our questions, and shared his love and enthusiasm for his country. Phil kept us safe as he drove the mini van (which was extremely comfortable). Beautiful countryside and towns. Extremely worthwhile day tour.
