This is a great place to visit on one of the rainier days in Lerwick. Really interesting museum that covers the geology, biodiversity, history and culture of these islands...from the dawn of time to the present day. Good, modern and well presented displays that inform but do not overwhelm. It is also free to enter and has a decent little shop.

We popped in with our 2 girls (5 & 2) to have a look around and as there were kids boxes of 4 bath bombs we bought them a box to take home with us. They smelt gorgeous and they are the most brightly coloured bath bombs we have ever had, the kids loved them and have asked for some more for Christmas!

Single tack roads but views everywhere that have to be seen. When you get to Eshaness it is amazing. The wide expanse of water and so much to take it. Very much worth a visit.

Unless there is an event on, there's not much to see, but it is worth stopping to see what's there! The stained glass is really impressive. Just enter and walk up to the second floor to have a look.

Hermaness reserve is absolutely beautiful and worth the journey from the mainland - I would recommend taking a camera when you walk along the cliffs, as the views and wildlife are something to capture forever

We wanted some information on how to make the most of our visit to Shetland. We were given some great advice and help together with maps and guides. Really useful. Also learnt a bit if history and geography of the area.
