Lerwick is the main town of the Shetland Islands, part of Scotland and the United Kingdom. Cruise passengers arrive in a harbour town shaped by fishing, ferries and North Sea weather. The centre has local shops, waterfront buildings, the Shetland Museum and Archives and walks around the old lanes. Excursions often visit Jarlshof, Scalloway, cliff scenery or wildlife sites where seabirds and seals may be seen. Shetland has a strong Norse influence, visible in place names and local culture. Lerwick is a good call for island history, open scenery and a clear sense of place.
