Welcome to the area known as Central Mainland, which comprises:- Scalloway, Burra, Trondra, Tingwall, Whiteness & Weisdale.

This central area of Shetland is a landscape of intricate contrasts: layers of limestone make slashes of green between brown hills of harder rock; long narrow sea lochs, or voes, gouged out by glaciers, run miles into the land; storm battered offlying islands shelter peaceful anchorages.

It's great walking and fishing country, with scenery, wild flowers and birdlife of amazing richness and variety.
