Properties for sale in Shetland, sell your home privately in ShetlandShetland comprises several islands found to the north east of Scotland. They are isolated and served by a small airport and a regular ferry service. Driving time to London (including a ferry crossing) will take just less than eighteen hours. This area is a rural community that is largely wild moorland or agricultural farmland. The only town in the Shetland Islands is Lerwick, and it is from this base that the ferry service operates. The islands are well served by banking and shopping facilities. Home buyers looking for an escape from an urban lifestyle find this area desirable because of its isolation from the mainland, coupled with its self-sufficiency. The Shetlands have a rich history that focuses on the Second World War. There are numerous historical sites to visit, including Fort Charlotte, and there is a strong connection to the early Vikings. Outdoor pursuits are popular, as are water sports in this area.
