Shetland: Scotland’s Wondrous Isles
Welcome to The Shetland Islands – an archipelago of wonders, unlike anywhere else in the world.
In this new Channel 5 tv series we come ashore in this magical world, where seabirds outnumber people by a factor of many hundreds and where you’re closer to the Arctic Circle than you are to London. We meet native Shetlanders who live according to centuries’ old traditions, feeding themselves at the ‘croft’ farms that have fed the locals for many centuries, or the fishing fleets that have wrenched precious sustenance from the ever-powerful sea.
In episode 1, we meet Elizabeth who arrived from Canada and never went home. Like many on these sparsely populated islands, she wears many hats. On this occasion, we learn how she combines her passion for food and cooking with her newest venture – as a hand on a mackerel fishing boat.
Aald Harbour Hoose
Aald Harbour Hoose is a charming and recently renovated home conveniently located near Lerwick’s seafront, just a short walk from Commercial Street. Its traditional architecture and weathered stone walls are typical for the historic lanes of the town. Inside, you’ll find comfortable bedrooms and tasteful decor that combines modern amenities and art with traditional elements.
Elizabeth, the dedicated caretaker of the house and a local food enthusiast, can prepare healthy breakfasts, packed lunches and her signature Sensational Secret Shetland Suppers (as seen on Channel 5!) served on our spacious wooden 8-seat kitchen table.
