Satellite Sites & Centres
Shetland is peppered with sites of heritage or cultural interest, including various archaeological sites, National Nature Reserves, and Sites of Special Scientific Interest. Many of these sites are open to the public, allowing you to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors or sit just meters from a Puffin.
These sites can be manned or unmanned. The manned sites often have visitor centres, were you can find out more about many aspects of Shetland’s past. You will find that many of the unmanned sites contain interpretation boards, to help you piece our history together or identify our flora and fauna.
