Shetland Islands: West Shetland

Recorded September 2, 2008.

Shetland is an archipelago in Scotland, off the northeast coast. The islands lie to the northeast of Orkney, 170 miles from the Faroe Islands and form part of the division between the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the North Sea to the east. The largest island, known as "Mainland," has an area of 374 square miles, making it the third-largest Scottish island and the fifth-largest of the British Isles.

My tour of the Shetland Islands continues is this video as we have left Scalloway and drive to the west coast of Mainland Shetland for a scenic view. Along the way we see sheep, cows, horses and shetland ponies. The video concludes as the tour ends back in Lerwick.

@mytramplady Thanks very much :) I am in Dundee and would like to see more of Scotland. Being from an Island you kinda don't feel part of the mainland, Scotland. You should definitely visit! I've been to Orkney but would love to go to the Faroe Islands.
