The unofficial A-Z of Shetland 

That was really fun. Thank you. I met the girl who became my wife in Shetland, in 1974, when I came up from England for the fiddle music. Spent three summers in a row working at Shetland Seafoods, where the Mareel complex is now. One of my abiding memories is of getting thrown out of The Planets along with a Glaswegian friend of mine - in a perverse kind of way, I'm rather proud of that achievement, but I'm a reformed character these days. My wife and I live in Australia now. We came over for a visit in 2012 after we read about Mareel on the internet. I'd forgotten how strong - and constant - the wind is. I remember the Sullom Voe refinery being built, went to see it on our visit, and drove up to Muckle Flugga, first time on Unst. I was in that northernmost shop. Shetland certainly is a special place and long may it be so.

Ah, you know it's a great place when you have to pause the video halfway through to look up how much the flights there will cost. :D

Idk how many times I’ve watched this but it’s amazing!! Living on shetland from mainland been here for 1 and a half years best choice ever made... ❤️

Nothing like a short vacation to a place I'll never be able to afford to get to! Thanks!

Wonderful. Watching this on a bus in western Australia, can't wait to get back!

Really enjoyed this video and wee look at Shetland! We are planning a month to Scotland as our once in a lifetime holiday - and Shetland is on the list of "must see" - hope to spend at least a week there. Thank you for the video from fans in Canada!

This made me laugh so hard and is really well-produced. Thanks for sharing.

Came to this by way of researching the locales in Ann Cleeves's books, of course. What a super video -- charming and clever and very funny. Makes me want to leave my apartment in NYC and wander through Shetland.

Very well done and funny! I am looking forward to spend part of my sabatical next year on Shetland isles. I will watch out for this guy with remarkable sideburns.

Brilliant! Brought back lots of memories.

we, an american married to a brit and living near london....yuk....havent had a vacation in 4 years.....we discussed everything from germany to spain....but after 2 vacations in scotland about 6 and 8 years ago, we talked, hubby gave free reigns and i picked shteland to consider first. well, we LOVE to laugh and i can honestly say the A TO Z video has me sold....and with very little prodding, i am sure i can convince my husband to take the ride up and out in April [knowing it will still be chilly, yes] to as far in the islands as we can manage!!!! Thanks for the laughs and the introduction.....getting excited already for the probable trip north!!!

Thanks, I want to visit Shetland more now 😃💙

What a great wee film. Well done JJ, Bryan, Joanne, Stevie and all the team. I lived there for many years and worked with all these great people in the Bongshang days. I miss the place so much, without doubt the best place I have, or will ever live, and I have lived and worked in lots of countries. All the very best to you all and have one in the Lounge for me.

My father was born in the Shetland, and I have many great memories of summer holidays in the islands.

AZee da best advert for Shetland i'm seen fur a start - superb

Shetland. The good lady & I first visited in the early 1990s. Only really meant to go once. We have been back on twenty three occasions.

And a great sense of humor!

Looks lovely! Can't wait to visit.

Fantastic place and People spent a week there in 2018. Would love to go back for longer.

Loved the video and introduction ... got interested because of the detective series Shetland ... Love from India!

I LOVED this! I "learned" about Shetland by watching the TV crime drama by the same name - and now I want to visit - from Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, Canada.

You made my day, what a good laugh !

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amusing and informative video.

Brilliant!

Delightful!

Super video chaps. Thoroughly enjoyed that - one for my bucket list to visit Shetland. What about doing a video for Scarborough or Skermersdale?

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Thank you !

This is a great video shows Shetland for all people that have never been here before. Definitely worth visiting x

Pretty much spot on! :)

Loved the video❤️ from Australia

Great video, but I don't have what it takes to deal with the constant cold! Beautiful scenery. Bet the lady knows how to knit a warm sweater. For staying warm nothing beats real wool!

Very proud to be the 15,000th watcher! Hilarious film - love it. Ready to pack my bags and move north now!

That was great.

Brilliant, weel done!

Ahhh love that Twatt sign

Luvvit! What a great, fun video...

Incredibly good!

Just brilliant😂❤

Brilliant x

3:57 where Jimmy Perez lives

That was hilarious. Can’t wait to visit now.

10 flights is more than I expected. The area my parents live in only has 2 each way a day. Shetland is obviously alot bigger.

excellent well done

class video !!

This was very informative and the little jokes made this very amusing to watch. I did not know that Shetland is also known as Hjaltland. I might just use that one from now on. One thing that I noticed is that the sign at 3:57 says Leirvík (Old Norse: Muddy Bay). We, in the Faroe Islands and Iceland, still use these nordic words and, here, "leir" means clay, not mud. I don't know if this is a translation error or the word just got changed throughout history.

Hello from Gothenburg!

That was hilarious, thank you for making me giggle. I’d love to visit to experience the culture and community, the landscape, the wildlife, the Simmer Dim and the Aurora Borealis...probably not at the same time🤔. I have seen the Aurora Borealis and the bird life remotely by webcam. By the way were you(presenter) the little boy dressed as a Viking?

I just back from Shetlands. Amazing islands. I am probably first Pole motorbiker there ever.Mainland/Yell/Unst 2021.

Love Shetland, been there around 20 times, I'd move there if I could.

Great fun ,,

I fell in love in Lerwick Youth Hostel. She was a Parisian.

I already miss Shetlands...

I will be returning to Shetland for a 5 day holiday in May, not driving a truck though...I cannot wait to get back...

Yun’s brilliant! So true, so funny.

Went to skaw beach in unst yesterday. Great beach. But remember not to go swimming in it and norwick beach because of strong underwater currents.

VERY WELL DONE

Hah! Very funny! Loved it. I'm fre' Aberdeen ... originally

Brilliant! :D

That was fun.....

Hello from Southern Italy! :-)
