Southernmost Shetland Half Day Tour from Lerwick

We start our tour in Lerwick with a photo stop opportunity at the famous Clickimin Broch - a sophisticated type of stone-built round house found only in Scotland. Clickimin Broch has evidence of settlement spanning over a thousand years

We pause at Hoswick Visitor Centre in Sandwick, the home of Shetland Knitwear, where there will be time to browse the gift shop, find out about the history & heritage from the many exhibits and enjoy light refreshments at the Café. There are several traditional knitwear shops close by displaying beautiful, crafted items.

Sumburgh Head – the most southerly point of mainland Shetland – home to vast array of birdlife. Sumburgh Lighthouse is the oldest in Shetland, dating back to the 1820’s and designed by Robert Stevenson. There is also a Visitor Centre and Café plus spectacular views (note - visitor centre is closed on Tue/Wed outside of peak season)

On the return to Lerwick, we have a photo stop to see the stunning St Ninians Isle with its sand tombolo. Viking treasure was found on St Ninian’s Isle in 1958 when a schoolboy unearthed the valuable hoard of silver items

Another brief photo stop to view the impressive Mousa Broch as we head north. Please note - any time not accounted for is travel time between locations.
