Shetland's harbour town: the museum, Fort Charlotte, Clickimin Broch and the ferry to Bressay
Lerwick is Shetland's main town and port, with a population of 6,709 in 2022, and the most northerly major settlement in the United Kingdom. Commercial Street runs behind the old waterfront, the Shetland Museum and Archives stands at Hay's Dock, and Fort Charlotte, begun in 1665 during the Second Dutch War, overlooks Bressay Sound.
Clickimin Broch, on the edge of town by Clickimin Loch, shows more than a thousand years of settlement. Across the sound, the island of Bressay is a short council ferry crossing from the town centre, with Gardie House and Bressay Lighthouse; boat trips run to the seabird cliffs of Noss beyond it. Lerwick is also the home of Up Helly Aa, held each January.

内行贴士
出发前须知
1
Check the ferry before you sail
NorthLink and the council ferries publish service updates. Weather can delay or cancel sailings, so check on the day before setting out to Bressay or the north isles.
2
Book Up Helly Aa stays early
The festival is a single day in late January in Lerwick, and the town is small. Look for accommodation well ahead if you plan to see the procession.
3
Pick up timetables
Buses outside Lerwick can be infrequent. ZetTrans publishes the timetables for buses and inter-island ferries; plan day trips around them.
4
Check seasonal opening
Several sights outside town, such as Sumburgh Head and the Mousa boat, open mainly from April to September. Lerwick's museum and fort make good winter visits.
