Ability Shetland is the isles’ go-to charity for helping people with disabilities to realise their potential. Its sporting endeavours – from clubs to fun sessions – have grown exponentially over the last decade. That growth led to a 19-strong Shetland team heading to Stirling in July to compete in the Scottish Learning Disability Games for the first time. Find out more via our link in bio!

Visiting the Fair Isle Bird Observatory feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience (unless you go back, of course!), but what does the reopening mean for those who live and work in Fair Isle? Carla Hill is a Ranger at the Observatory and shared why the Fair Isle Bird Observatory is so important to Fair Isle. Link in bio!
Shetland’s northerly location means the islands have the UK’s longest winter nights and offer some of the best opportunities to marvel at dark skies. After sunset, the skies come alive and on a clear night, you can spot major constellations, admire the moon, watch planets, and, when the conditions are right, enjoy the northern lights, known in Shetland as the ‘mirrie dancers’.
