Lerwick, the capital of Shetland, grew from a small fishing settlement in the 17th century to a thriving port. Its streets are lined with historic buildings, traditional shops, and cafés.
Wander through narrow and windy lanes and shop for local crafts, enjoy fresh seafood, and soak up the maritime charm. Don’t miss Brekka Tower and the town’s bustling harbour.
