Lerwick Shetland Walking Tour - Knab Coastline, Lodberries, Clickimin Broch & Town Center

Join me on a Lerwick Shetland Walking Tour to the Knab Coastal Walk, Lodberries, Clickimin Broch & Town Center. The natural beauty and culture is amazing to experience on a walking tour. #shetland #scotland
The Shetland Islands are a subarctic archipelago in the Northern Isles of Scotland. The Atlantic Ocean lies to the west and the North Sea to the east of Shetland. Just 16 of about 100 islands are inhabited. Its landscapes dramatically vary in form, such as, rocky crags, lofty sea-cliffs, fertile farmlands, pebble beaches, heather moors and sand dunes.
Even though the Shetlands are part of UK, their roots also connect with Old Norse. The Norse heritage shows in their archeological sites, culture and unique dialect using Old Norse. Also, Shetland is home to the iconic Shetland ponies, with their short legs and heavy fur.
Lerwick is the capital with a population of about 7,000 on the main island. It’s sheltered from the south-westerly gales by Bressay Island across the sound. Lerwick means ‘muddy waters’ in Old Norse. In the 1700’s it was the unofficial marketplace for the Dutch herring fishing fleets and smuggling days.

I spent a month in Lerwick back in 1998, when the research vessel I worked in was moored up in Victoria Pier. Happy days exploring when off shift. I fell in love with place. Just beautiful. Thanks for the upload.

[@TrueWindHealingTravel]

You are so welcome. Lerwick is such a wonderful place. I am sure a lot has changed since 1998, but still beautiful as ever!

Beautiful Scotland!!!

[@TrueWindHealingTravel]

Yes, your homeland is amazing. ❤

[@cath9335]

My apologies. We from the mainland who have visited many times consider you to be part of us in a friendly way, as we have always got on well with the people we have met on the islands. I'm sorry if that offends you.

[@TrueWindHealingTravel]

​@cath9335 no need for you to apologize! On social media you can't please everyone. We can all agree that Shetland is a special place.

[@ginnienuckles3992]

the lodberries are used for the TV series "Shetland"

[@TrueWindHealingTravel]

Yes, I realized my error on that after making video. Thanks for letting me know.

[@MignonWV]

Hi thank you for this walk. How long was the hike?

[@TrueWindHealingTravel]

From waterfront to Clickimin Broch is a little more than 1 mile or 1.6 km.

[@sandipointon9867]

Series is called Shetland, not detective.

[@TrueWindHealingTravel]

Thanks for catching my mistake. I actually knew it was called Shetland and tiredly called it Detective.
