Local info you may want to know

Shetland is a unique, subarctic archipelago in Scotland, comprising about 100 islands, with just 16 inhabited. Its population hovers around 23,000, fostering a close-knit community vibe.

Economically, Shetland thrives on fishing, agriculture, and increasingly, renewable energy sources. Its remote location makes telecommunications a vital bridge to mainland Scotland and beyond.

Interestingly, despite its size, Shetland has a global footprint in the oil industry, with Sullom Voe being one of Europe's largest oil terminals. This economic diversity might be surprising to outsiders looking into the region.
