The Port Of Lerwick

Lerwick Harbour on the Shetland Isles is a mile from the town centre on the South Mainland. It has two entrances open to shipping in all weathers and operates around-the-clock.

Lerwick's day to day life revolves around its busy harbour. During the summer months yachts, cruise liners, private yachts and motor cruisers arrive from ports all around the North Atlantic.

The narrow peninsula which runs 25 miles south from Lerwick has some of Shetland's more dramatic scenery. It has an abundance of archaeological sites. Seabird cliffs, wildfowl lochs, seal rookeries and whale-watching viewpoints are all on the top of the list for the islands wildlife tourists.

For walkers there are excellent routes round the coastline and along the ridge of hills which forms the spine of the South Mainland. Lerwick has a population of around 7,500, approximately one third of Shetland's total population.

Since the 1960's, almost £50 million has been invested in the redevelopment of the port which handles around 5,500 vessels annually Sailings from Lerwick to Aberdeen ferry port are operated by Northlink Ferries.
