Shetland Islands

[@SouthernOceanBlue]

I love Shetland. I'm a Kiwi and I lived there for a while. Gorgeous landscape, incredible light, lovely friends and neighbours, delightful hint of barmpotness. A glorious place and I miss it.

[@gleb202]

You're a Kiwi?? As far as I know it's a fruit or a bird.

[@OMBADV]

Shetland looks wonderful. I have a great urge to visit it one day and who knows, I may not want to leave!!

[@tommytigerpants]

I intend to visit the Shetlands. My parents went last year and had an amazing time. We were able to trace our last name back to the very early 1700s to the Shetlands- we even found a street with the same name. I can't wait to visit.

[@graceheesch-garrison4822]

Intriguing, rugged, and someplace I would like to see and experience. Wonderful new letters from Shetland, too. Masterpiece Mystery, "Shetland" series is great viewing.

[@waszkoman]

We were lucky enough to visit Lerwick in September 2009. It is beautiful - I would encourage everyone to visit - the beauty of the Island is outmatched only by the wonderful Shetlanders (did I get that right?). Wonderful video series - brought back many memories.

[@DeirdreEmm]

I love Shetland, it's the best place in the world and I've fantasized about living there for a long time now. Someday I will live there. It's one of the best kept secrets on earth and hope it stays that way.....

I would love to come back! Loved the place, still do.

[@navnig]

i'm from shetland and i've been to faroe, i loved it there....we stayed on nolsoy, just across from torshavn. beautiful place. it reminded me of shetland excepty everything seemed to be higher (the hills and mountains etc)

[@kirkwallboy]

My grandad was born in Shetland. It is a wonderful place to visit.

[@mariapierce2707]

great to come across this!

[@tigershadow1177]

Largely UNSPOILT. Let's keep it that way =D xx

[@lommaren]

very beautiful, just a shame about the weather. On similar parallels in interior Scandinavia, we top Lerwick's all-time record like 50 times/year... So which time would be the best time of the year to visit outside May-September? April maybe?

[@kevallen7303]

my and wife are coming to work in shetland,loooking forward to it in september

[@159gazb]

I would suggest that anyone coming to Shetland,will treasure their visit for years to come.Email me for a link of beautiful photos of mainland Shetland.I have lived here for over 19 years now,and think that people should visit Shetland in both,Winter and Summer,as it is stunning whenever you arrive.

[@turtleheninny]

Hoping to visit very soon..

[@vlindell]

Great Promo!! You guys do fine work

[@Sobin4Gsus]

Luv this place.. Im comin next month..! Cheers ya'll..

[@AriannaTremayne]

Wonderful 😍

[@jpsartstudio346]

I want to go to Shetland :)

[@cwss1300]

I live in Shetland I do

[@asbjrnpoulsen9205]

do you live in leirvík or streymnes 🙄

[@cr0vius]

ME TOO!

[@chadsimmons6347]

Did they name any of the island's Peeland?

[@tommeytommey2742]

The most beautiful place on earth!

[@oddities-whatnot]

I dont have a passport so its about as far as I can go ! One day, when I have the time and money hopefully.

[@SookeyTheSockKnapper]

+ suzyhalcrow At least you understand i love shetland in all its beauty and the festivals keep the life of the island up and running as well as the outstanding wildlife such as Puffins,dive bombers, oyster catchers those three are my most favourite birds ,

[@shetlandlive]

Hi, just to say that shetlandlive is featuring this video on our front page, is that Jonathan's voice I hear narrating?

[@olasb24]

I never been to Shetland ,but i i would love to visit this beautifull island. as a norwegian i feel strong sense of pride over the viking ancestry on Shetland, after all it have always had strong bonds to Norway:-)

[@SookeyTheSockKnapper]

I love shetland and people who get bored and tired of its wondrous ways obviously have no respect for the history and natural landscape of shetland it is outstanding that they have managed to keep it live and natural,i do recommend the ferry ! 12 hours of a relaxing ocean and at night you may get a chance to spot some whales and seals along with other sea life,the old RAF base on unst the 3rd largest island and the most northerly point of Britain which is populated (2nd most northerly if you count muggle flucka not sure on spelling srry)the RAF base is called saxa vord and is now a holiday resort, the nature of shetland is something to carry with you on the journey of your life,

[@SookeyTheSockKnapper]

Well the views are stunning of cliffs and of the sun rises and sun sets, the northern lights leave me speechless but what i find the most important thing is, its got true beauty, the hills are small and bare yet they stick out, and the wildlife is outstanding, but then again not everyone has the same views but i think it's beautiful especially for those who want to live somewhere more peaceful

[@slothfromthegoonies8201]

Sookeythesockknapper Plain landscape, cold climate. I'll give it a miss.

[@harrybdub]

Nice

[@Ltasty]

this summer is kicking ass so far tho! lol

[@edmundbenz]

I'm from the Philippines and I am very interested to go to Shetland.

[@Q0ia]

wow, i absoluely love my little shetland ponies, in my coundtry they really call shetlanders. thank you for them^^

[@knabbob]

thankyou blessings

[@acerb4566]

Even the highland cattle? But they have thick coats like a musk ox!

[@kreuzreuter]

What kind of music is here?

[@Judaswoof]

omg i really want to go there!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ltasty]

haha 2:03 Mr Sandison! My primary 6 teacher!

[@kalgakas]

Should I move to Shetland or Orkney?

[@titanfallsvlogs4898]

kalgakas Yes!!

[@Aidansim511]

@cattom96 hear! hear!

[@Razovllay]

Is there a single tree?

[@cr0vius]

No. SHETLAND IS TOO FLIPPING COLD. IF YOU GROW A TREE PUT A JUMPER ON IT.

[@gilmoyes2590]

I believe the last tree is on the Orkney Islands, Kirkwall

[@ianwilliamson2980]

There are trees in Shetland.

[@Aidansim511]

@SabuPtolemy hia california from shetland

[@Johnnywr]

Great promotional video. Perhaps it would be more authentic with a Shetlander narrating, though I guess this is easier for non Shetlanders to understand. Still, it might give the impression Shetlanders talk with an English home counties accent (the Forewick Holm/Forvik syndrome).

[@grahamfleming7642]

No maist fowk ir Scottish and spik Scots,but ar spok doon tae,by the delusional maister race

[@SookeyTheSockKnapper]

*Kalgakas Shetland! Unst is the most northernly populated island

[@Julie090995]

I'm a Shetlander too and I must say this is a great video, except you forgot the very common bad wadder!! xD Do not say Shetlands D:< Or the Orkneys fer dat matter! It's derogitory!! (I carnt spel)

[@259gale]

@cattom96 you are lucky

[@AtrumMixer]

I wonder what the Shetlanders would say if suddenly ca 500 000 Scandinavians, Englishmen, Germans, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, Irelanders and etc came and took over the island with the goal of creating a new last European common nation and culture.

[@acerb4566]

ps: With those sheep all you can do is sell some wool and small hides. But with cattle, you can sell bigger hides, massive amount's of milk, meat, cheese, this is Agricultural Diversification! And sheep upset that delicate economic balance!

[@acerb4566]

If these were my island's, I'd replace all the destructive sheep with sensible cattle! Then the place would be greener like it was before the clearances.

[@cr0vius]

Literally, I walk out of my house every day and it's just like "BOOM! KERPOW! SHEEP EVERYWHERE!" THERE'S TOO MANY SHEEP IN SHETLAND ;-;

[@xXmichaela1Xx]

@kramnodd9 *SHETLAND, Obviously has a better education. It has, hills, trees, lochs, castles, brochs, beaches. Maybe you should look up a place before you try and make an ignorant judgement on a place.

[@Ltasty]

most would say shetlanders

[@roryfyfesmith8342]

Great part of Scotland

[@SookeyTheSockKnapper]

Thats right, have you ever been there?
