LERWICK, Shetland | 4K Narrated Walking Tour | Let's Walk 2024

[@johnledingham852]

I'm a 77 year old lad, the son of a Scotsman, living in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I thoroughly enjoyed your intriguing video that took me on a fascinating walking tour of Lerwick. What a wonderful wee toon it is. The buildings have survived so many generations and are beautifully preserved and maintained. No graffiti and the surrounding streets are clean and neat. The local people obviously take pride in their heritage. How refreshing that is in what has become a grubby world community. Thank you so very much for your efforts.

[@LetsWalkUK]

It is a wonderful place - as you say the history is preserved amazingly, and the streets certainly are spick and span! A great place to visit - and thank you so much for watching :)

Thanks for taking me back 44 years ago when I visited Lerwick and the Islands.

[@allliedanorth]

As always, your videos bring me peace in the morning as I drink my coffee and get ready for the day! Thank you for all your research on these fetching towns!

[@LetsWalkUK]

Ah thank you that's so kind of you to say! Glad to hear and certainly Lerwick in particular is a cosy place to start your morning off with! More to come :)

[@halbehageman6572]

What a beautiful town and what a very relaxing tour! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@fuoridalsentiero]

What a wonderful tour of Lerwick! The 4K footage really brings the beauty of Shetland to life, and the narration adds so much depth to the history and charm of the town. It was such a peaceful and informative walk through this unique part of Scotland. Thanks for sharing this beautiful experience with us! Best wishes, Chiara & Donato Fuoridalsentiero!

My son often talks about Lerwick so it was lovely to see all the places on this walk. Thank you.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🇬🇧

Congratulations, one of the best I've seen. Excellent! Greetings from Greece.

[@larryparis925]

This was great! Highly informative, with great street scenes and narration. Thank you, from San Diego, California, USA.

[@wickedfaerie68]

charming! Very well narrated and videoed.

[@LetsWalkUK]

That's very kind of you to say! Thank you for watching :)

[@wstevenson4913]

That was really interesting, thanks

[@Trond_travels]

Amazing video, thanks for sharing 😊 We are going to Lerwick and Shetland next year, really looking forward to it 😊

[@LetsWalkUK]

No problem - glad you enjoyed! It's a fantastic destination and I'm sure you'll have a great time there next year (just remember your raincoat!) Thanks for watching :)

[@Trond_travels]

@ Oh yes, I live in Bergen so raincoat is what I always were 😀

[@scrapbagstudios]

Very interesting. I knew that building was Jimmy Perez's house as soon as I saw it. Nice to have background history to it. I would love to visit Shetland but I live in Australia, I am old with lung problems and cannot travel by plane so it's not likely that I ever will. Thank you for your lovely informative and well narrated video.

[@rachelhopkins2630]

Thank you for this. It really felt like I was there! I have enjoyed the TV series immensely (and have the DVDs to watch back home here in Australia) which have increased my interest in visiting this beautiful part of Scotland. I have visited many parts of Scotland over the past 15 years including some of the outer hebrides and the orkneys and so now Shetland is definitely on my list of places to go. Great walking pace too xx

[@kevinlance1813]

We visited Scotland last fall, spending 3 weeks touring around the country. Sadly we didn't include the Shetlands in our itinerary but we are already making plans to amend that. We of course love the show, and lately we are falling in love with the Shetland fiddle sound and folk music which we recognize as the inspiration for the Appalachian old time sound I was raised on. Great content!

[@susanjones5322]

What a lovely video. I was there some years ago. Lovely to see Hay's Dock again. So sad to see the Tourist Office has closed. Thank you so much.

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Excellent video, thank you. I was planning to visit Shetland later next year.

[@stephaniesimpson1150]

Thank you for this amazing walk and video..We are using it to plan our visit there next year..We have been to Scotland twice..Last time for 3 weeks bu have never visited Shetland..We enjoy the TV series too..

[@HULUMO]

Outstanding narration!!

[@rachb373]

Fantastic! What a beautiful place 😍

[@LetsWalkUK]

Very beautiful - can be cold and cloudy but such an amazing place to visit :)

[@nickinthefield4202]

Great presentation. Many thanks. 👏👏

[@LetsWalkUK]

And many thanks to you for watching - hope you enjoyed :)

[@tracyduncan4248]

Excellent! So well presented 🙂

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)

[@KathrynParker-v7y]

Wonder if 'The Happy Haddock' fish and chip shop is still there. Or the pet shop. Stayed at a B&B with a couple of friends many years ago at Shetland. Must dig the photos out. Thank you for the tour and bringing back happy memories. Except now I feel really old!

[@LetsWalkUK]

It seems so! I did have some fish and chips in my time in Lerwick - but at one just by Fort Charlotte (it was great!). Hope you had a great time when you visited and glad to hear this tour brought back some memories :) Thanks for watching!

[@Cat-bz7tm]

I did a 12 hr coach tour of the highlands a few weeks ago beautifal outstanding area with the mountains and valleys . This town looks lovely, will visit

[@LetsWalkUK]

It's so beautiful! And indeed if you get a boat up to Shetland then you're in for a real treat, it's different, but no less stunning :) Thanks for watching!

[@jenniecallomon164]

A most enjoyable tour…..I would love to visit Shetland someday. **** pity about the ugly great cruise ship !

[@danielwortley2241]

Looks quite nice over there

[@DavidPeacock1972]

Did you not see DI Jimmy Perez?

[@LetsWalkUK]

Ha ha he's been gone for a few seasons sadly! I did see them filming Series 9 while I was in Shetland though - that was cool!

[@DavidPeacock1972]

@LetsWalkUK Yeah. Unfortunately Douglas Henshall made the series. I've not watched Shetland since his departure.

[@NATALY518]

Я сейчас просматриваю) Поэтому захотелось узнать про эти острова)

[@TrainBusinfo]

Great video friend ❤❤❤

[@LetsWalkUK]

It's a great town! Thanks for watching :)

[@EunbiKimLemon]

I am very surprised to see Lerwick because I recently have written a novel of which background is Lerwick. So, I need a much of information all about Lerwick and your video provides that information exactly.(of course, I have written that novel in Korean, not in English.) Anyway, I always thank you for great video.(I am not good at writing in English)

[@LetsWalkUK]

Oh wow that's amazing! Sounds like an interesting project - hopefully this video has shown you some interesting points about Lerwick :) And don't worry about your English - it's great (감사합니다!)

[@moniquepoche3896]

New sub from sunny Florida :)

[@harbourdogNL]

Sounds as though the Victorians really destroyed the 'auld toon'. Imagine had they left it alone, it would be one of the most spectacular harbour towns in Europe. Great video thanks. A trip to to the Orkneys & Shetland is in the plans; ideally in the off-season when they're not maggoty with tourists.

[@gwenvanrensburg6830]

Thank you ❤❤❤lofely

[@LetsWalkUK]

And thank you for watching!

[@Quzinqa1122]

26:44 Mareel = (Swedish) "Mareld", "fire of the sea".

[@RaymondCalloway]

Interesting pronunciation of Scalloway

[@andycam4645]

An enjoyable walk around a place built with stony Scottish precision (and not a scrap of rubbish)

[@deendrew36]

I thought the snail on the sign was just to indicate to go slow!

[@birsay123]

Orkney is more Norse in character

[@Trollberg60north]

I live in Lerwick and that’s how it’s pronounced. It’s Ler-wick, not that silly slang rubbish you hear on the Shetland/Jimmy Perez programme “Ler-ick”. And we’re not Scotland!.

[@roland5359]

[@Whatt787]

Lerwick is as old and depressing as Scotland's grim weather, two go hand in hand

[@thra5herxb12s]

I never heard it called Lerrick before. I'm sure it's not right.

[@glennsunman9859]

It’s not pronounced “ Lerrick”. The indigenes pronounce every syllable as in Lerwick . I know that in England some names ending in “wick” do get corrupted in a local vernacular to drop the “w” such as in Alnwick but in Scotland all syllables are generally pronounced.

[@RidleyWhitfield]

At least get the name right. It’s Lerwick pronouncing the “w”.

[@janetpendlebury6808]

I believe both pronunciations are correct.

[@poppyrowland1385]

@@janetpendlebury6808 I concur.👍🏻

[@lardeyell]

I mean, if you're the type of person that insists on pronouncing the 'p' in "pterodactyl", I guess you can try and take the high ground on this technicality. Locally, though, "Lerrick" is a very much softened version of a more traditional "Leyrook".

[@jackmckinnon3208]

Lerick ??? Can you no read man ????? And the English wonder why were no too friendly at times ?? I canna wonder
