Yell, the Gateway to
the Northern Isles and justly famous for otters, is the second largest
island in Shetland. Its long and varied coastline and stretches of
uninhabited moorland has much to offer to wildlife enthusiasts, hill
walkers and those who simply want a measure of peace and quiet. Yell also
serves as a good base to explore Fetlar and Unst. From Toft, on North
Mainland, it takes only fifteen minutes by car ferry to reach Ulsta at the
south end of the island.
About 1,000 people
live on the island and you will find a lifestyle which uniquely blends
tradition with a full range of up-to-date facilities.
