From summer hikes and stormy coastal walks to family-friendly activities and once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters, these 100 ideas offer something for all ages, interests and seasons. You won’t tick them all off in a week – or even a season – but that’s the point. This is a bucket list built for Shetland life, year-round.
Perfect for curious travellers, local explorers, and anyone searching for things to do, this list will take you from beaches and brochs to boat trips and bannocks, with plenty of hidden gems along the way.
We have two versions of the leaflet: one you can download, print and fill in manually with a pen, or you can download and keep a digital copy offline, ticking off the list on your phone or tablet as you go.
