    Scotland's northern isles

    Shetland.
    A world apart.

    Wild Atlantic cliffs. Islands linked by sea. A place where Viking stories, tiny ponies and a warm welcome belong to the same adventure.

    Travel north with us and discover the scenery, heritage and everyday island life that make Shetland so unlike anywhere else.

    Across the water.
    Into another world.

    The adventure begins before you reach the islands. An overnight sailing carries you from Aberdeen to Lerwick, followed by two full days exploring with a qualified local guide. With Brae as your island base, there is time for dramatic coastlines, fascinating history and the pleasure of discovering it all together.

    NorthLink ferry sailing through island waters

    Your overnight sea journey

    Set sail for Shetland.

    Board NorthLink Ferries in Aberdeen and settle into the rhythm of life at sea. Enjoy your included meal, spend a little time in the ship's public areas, then retire to your cabin as you sail towards Lerwick.

    Cabin accommodation and meals are included on both overnight crossings, making the voyage part of your holiday from the first evening to the journey home.

    Two days with a local guide

    More than scenery.
    Stories around every corner.

    See Shetland through the eyes of someone who knows it. Your guide brings the islands' landscapes and heritage to life, connecting the places you visit with the people and stories behind them.

    Guided day one · Yell and Unst

    Island hopping.
    Viking footsteps.

    Head north from Lerwick and take the local ferries to Yell and Unst. Discover island life at the Old Haa Museum, then continue to Britain's northernmost inhabited island, where open landscapes and sea views set the scene.

    Unst's maritime and Norse heritage comes into focus at the Boat Haven and around the Skidbladner replica Viking longship and reconstructed longhouse. It is a day of short sea crossings, small communities and a strong sense of place.

    Guided day two · Shetland Mainland

    Sea cliffs.
    Centuries of history.

    Discover the dramatic coastline around Eshaness, with its lighthouse, sea stacks and Atlantic views. Travel through the Tingwall Valley and meet Shetland's famous ponies before exploring more of the Mainland's coastal scenery.

    A photo stop towards Mousa offers a glimpse of its remarkable Iron Age broch. At Jarlshof, explore an extraordinary archaeological site where prehistoric, Norse and later settlements reveal layer upon layer of island history.

    Small ponies. Big personalities.

    A visit to Carol's Ponies is a chance to get to know one of the islands' best-loved residents, with insight from a lifelong breeder who knows these hardy little characters well.

    Time to explore Lerwick

    A harbour town
    with an island soul.

    Enjoy free time in Shetland's capital. Wander the lanes around Commercial Street, browse local shops or pause over a coffee by the waterfront. Stone buildings, the working harbour and a rich maritime past give Lerwick its distinctive character.

    Brae Hotel beside the water in Shetland

    Your island base · Brae Hotel

    A warm welcome
    after a wild day.

    Return to the village of Brae for two nights at the Brae Hotel. Comfortable en-suite accommodation, dinner and breakfast provide a welcoming base between your guided adventures, with the hotel well placed for exploring the north of Shetland.
