WELCOME TO NESTING, LUNNASTING AND
DELTING
These
three districts in the centre of Shetland have a great variety of scenery
and wildlife, from mountain hares and golden plovers on the high moorland to
seals and otters along the sheltered rocky shores.
Bold headlands and offlying islets contrast with the superb hummocky
peninsulas of North and South Nesting and the dramatic fjord like
landscape of Dales Voe. Just a few miles to the north, one of Europe's
largest oil arid gas terminals is tucked into the shore side landscape of
Sullom Voe.
Every week,
millions of barrels of oil from the Brent and Ninian fields are pumped
into massive oil tankers bound for refineries world wide and yet, within a
few minutes drive from the terminal, you can stand in a secluded valley
with an unpolluted pebble beach and trout stream all to yourself.
