The Lerwick Town Hall lit up red to honour armed forces members who died during the First World War and to raise money for @poppyscotland In the years before WWI, Shetland’s position on the edge of the North Sea made it clear that the islands would play an important role before, during and after the war. Find out more about Shetland’s involvement in the First World War via our link in bio.

Less than a week until the newest season of the hit crime drama, Shetland, returns to BBC One in the UK!🎬 Original cast member Alison O’Donnell bids farewell to the show in series 11, and to her character Alison “Tosh” McIntosh, who has been central to many of the stories. “I’ll miss the magic and the majesty of Shetland,” she told the BBC, reflecting on her departure. From dramatic coastlines and windswept beaches to quiet crofts, busy harbours and close-knit communities, Shetland provides far more than a dramatic television setting. That’s what makes it such a compelling location for storytellers, photographers, filmmakers and artists.

Gathered, Here. The latest exhibition on display at the Shetland Museum and Archives @shetlandmuseum This exhibition was developed by @zyacommunity through Museums Galleries Scotland’s Delivering Change: Community Catalysts programme. The artists use the space to explore how personal and collective histories shape our connection to place. By viewing Shetland’s history and stories through the lenses of their own lived experiences and heritage, the artists combine the two to explore how belonging truly can be found amongst different cultures. The exhibition is open from now until the 19th December 2026. Nip along the waterfront and check it out!
