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.

Worth a look, it really makes you understand how the crofters used to live. Even better if you can persuade the curator Trevor to sing a traditional song :)

Friendly, quirky and reliable with a little bit of spike – the Shetland pony, the spirit of Lerwick brewery.. The brewery began in 2013 on the back of 3 brothers (John, Jimmy and Graham) who in their search for an alternative lager, having been bored with the usual offers, brewed our first ever batch of 60° North. But what is it that makes us different? Being from the most Northerly isles we are as much Scottish as we are Nordic and it’s this that gives our beer its own taste, individual and unique. Our one of a kind blend of mild winters and cool summers, clear water and crisp fresh air has allowed us to develop stand out beers and create a brew family – Lerwick IPA, Shetland Pale Ale, Azure and Tushkar Oatmeal Stout, and it just keeps going. Want to join in the experience? We'd like to invite you to visit our newly refurbished bar and visitors centre. We offer tours and tastings within the brewery, please call, e-mail or book via our site to arrange.
Very interesting and informative explanation of the brewing process by our hostess Kathryn. We were then treated to several generous samples of the local brews which were all very tasty. Kathryn was knowledgeable about the company, the beers and Shetland.
