Good on ya 👍
Shetland is beautiful as long as you get a break with the weather
Used to fly into Sumburgh, get a hire car and drive up to Sullom Voe to work. Stayed in Lerwick
Roads are wild. I've landed in the rain, beautiful sunshine in Lerwick and snow at Sullom Voe. Its only 55 miles 🤣
I'll be really disappointed if you don't get a selfie beside the road sign at the village called tw4tt 😂

The last time i was in Shetland, I was looking for t**tt.. ok, stop sblack personing at the back.. someone said the council had stopped replacing the sign due to folks nicking them.. found the village but no signs.. that was around ten years ago, mind..
As Steve said the weather can be very Shetland.. but, it's well worth going to if you can but bear in mind that from tip to toe it's a hundred miles, with the two ferries in between.. due to the location there isn't many tourists and the roads are relatively traffic free and the smaller one can be single track with passing places.. If you take the ferry i would book a cabin with a bed rather than do the recliner seat thing..I've always flown from Inverness but that's pricey and not what you want anyway..
I'm sure you'll have a great time..
