We have published a map of the most northerly town in Britain; here are the details.
Though Lerwick does not have a great building, such as Kirkwall's St Magnus Cathedral, it is to many people a more interesting town, with the waters of Bressay Sound coming right up to many of the old piers and warehouses. Commercial Street winds narrowly through the busy centre. This map captures it in a boom period, when the port bustled with fishing boats from Scandinavia, Germnany and especially Holland, with which it has had surprisingly close links.
Many visitors will be tempted by the regular ferry across the Sound to Bressay, and our backing map includes a section of that island's shore.
