Archie Bouverie's guide:
Shetland
Whereas they say that the Orcadians (Population of Orkney) mainly farm, and fish a bit, the Shetlanders are known to fish, and farm a bit. Although the 100 islands and islets of Shetland measure about 70 miles in length, there is 900 miles of coastline and a population of 23,000. It is further North than Moscow and further from London than Milan and now is an important centre for the North Sea oil industry. It is a wild and dramatic place but can be visited easily enough by ferry from Aberdeen or Kirkwall using Northlink Ferries. There is much to see for bird-watchers.
What is a Bed and Breakfast?
The term Bed and Breakfast (aka B&B) is merely a generic term that implies that there might be limited facilities for guests outside of a bedroom and a breakfast in the morning. (Some B&Bs, especially in rural areas, do offer lunch and dinner!). Learn more about accommodation types
