IN SHETLAND

The Shetland Islands: beautiful scenery and a traditional wool industry

The Scottish archipelago of Shetland is made up of about 100 islands of which only fifteen are inhabited. Located halfway

between mainland Scotland and Norway, this wild and windswept landscape has breathtaking scenery, an incredible variety of

fauna and very well preserved archaeological sites. It is also host to a world-renowned festival of wool every September. Portait

of an island culture with something for everyone.

THE NEW YORK TIMES NELLIE HERMANN

New research indicates that some of

Scotland’s nearly 600 crannogs (artificial

islands) are far older than scientists originally

thought. Some may have been built more

than 5,300 years ago, during the Neolithic epoch.

Sumburgh Head is located at the southern tip of mainland Shetland. (Istock)
