I loved my two stays in Shetland and of course Yell and burravoe are deep in my heart, I would emigrate tomorrow from new Zealand ❤❤❤

Why on earth are you driving a car when you could be riding a bike?

Love ju shetland

Very interesting. My Grandparents immigrated to South Africa from Shetland. Live in London now and would love to visit

Hi Jimmy, I was in Shetland 78-82 building the terminal at Sullom Voe. We had a cottage at Wethersta, near Brae. It was one of the best times in my life and I loved the place. I'm now almost 67 and I've "been back" several times but only through Google Maps alas. This time of year I think of Up Helly A and the massive amounts of snow we had back then, where it'd be on the road for 3 months and everyone just got on with it. I always watch "Shetland" and wonder if people think its as dangerous and crime ridden as the programme would suggest...when I was there we never took the keys out of the car nor thought to lock the door, and if somebody was walking on the roadside the first car along stopped to pick them up...it might be you next time. Loved the wee vid so thanks

Looks dangerous to drive about in that weather !!! very quaint and pretty in the old section.

Thanks for sharing Jimmy.

I was quite ill with Australian flu in 2018, and I remember watching this and finding it strangely soothing..

A nice video even though it's from over 11 years ago. Managed to find it on Google street view as well so I saw some of it when the sun was out which gives a good comparison although even that is from 2015.

Larger than I thought. Some nice areas but some depressing ones. Like most places I suppose.

Where’s the murder? Don’t worry, I am just being a smart arse! Thank you for an enjoyable and realistic video. Have a good day. From Sydney Australia

I used to go here in the school holidays, my great granny lived in the house at the boats. I remember a wee blue van coming around with grocerys great memories thank you

Thanks! This is what KZbin is for!

Lots of snow. So many cars not under cover,great video.

So, I learnt to drive in the left side :)

It looks so different from the TV show, Shetland, which is an excellent show.

What's the main source of heat?

I was wondering if they got snow.

Last time I was there was 1975. Loads of new houses, entire new neighbourhoods built since then. Glad to see it looks so prosperous, and even a few trees now! Hope there are still tons of birds and fish. And gorgeous knitted goods! Ought to revisit, once the pandemic is done. Go, Shetland!

I love Shetland. Hope I can get back there sometime.

A really good look at Lerwick compared to the short visit there & into the countryside from a cruise ship...Shetland seems to be a magical place...very enjoyable video,thanks

It did almost this exact same trip today, 11 years later. Looked identical 😁

Wow ! I never expected the drive to open up to such a beautiful site .thank you for posting!

That brings it back. I miss Shetland.

Looks like a neighborhood in a Colorado mountain town😀

STOP! it is heaven!

Super,super.

I pressume the snowfall that Leewick gets is the wet slushy kind, and melts fairly quick?

Well not much snow but I am fascinated with weather out there ☺️🤗

Not much changed since then.

Any gardens? Flowers? Color?

Beautiful! Please make more year round! Thank you!

Hi people ive just recently found out about shetland islands i wanted to ask how many cities and towns are there in the island

These are out of town neighbourhoods greater lerwick

Snow that deep is rather rare....usually they get more of a mixture of rain and snow

Thank you for posting this. Loved it.

When you support both teams :)

I like Shetland Lerwick please make more video

Yikes

Beautiful Scotland in my heart forever

Šetlandski otok, prekrasno mjesto na sjeveru Europe

Lovely. Hope to go there someday. I didn't see anyone riding a bike.

Very enjoyable, thank you for the treat. As an American I was surprised to see cars parked facing the wrong way on the street--here that's a ticket for sure.

Sandveien is my old stomping ground.

It’s a lot bigger than I expected, but very bleak

Thank you for this tour, very informative and interesting.

Worked there in 1979 painting the school great memories

leirvík in the old days

We came a couple of times on the P&O mini cruises, the last time was in 1996, and would have to agree that Lerwick is not the prettiest town but it is a very small part of Shetland. The rest of Shetland is absolutely stunning. We are hoping to come up for a week next summer so these drive around videos really help getting my bearings.
