Flower Delivery to the Sheltand Islands by Clare Florist

With the most northern point of Britain included in the Shetlands Islands, it is easy to see why many people have yet to make the trip. The sad thing is, with stunning views and many areas of rugged beauty that will take your breath away, there is a lot to enjoy about these islands. There are more than 100 islands making up the Shetland Islands, even though only 15 of them are inhabited.

While there is a belief that the Shetland Islands have been inhabited since 3000 BC, the first real records of the Islands begun with the invasions of the Vikings, believed to have taken place around 800 AD. The history of the Shetland Isles is as much about the Viking and Nordic influence as it is about the Scottish influence.

In the summer months, there is often 19 hours of sunshine a day, making the Shetland Isles the perfect place to be if you like activities. The rugged terrain provides plenty of areas for activities such as mountain biking, scuba diving and even trout fishing. The Shetland Isles provides the perfect holiday destination for people looking to stay active when they are away from home. There are also plenty of historical sites and locations to check out on the Shetland Isles. Muness Castle is the perfect place to visit if you want to connect with the history and tradition of the local area.

There are also plenty of modern attractions on the mainland with bars and restaurants serving up a great range of entertainment. There is a strong history of musical traditions on the island, which should ensure that a night out on the island will be an enjoyable and lengthy one.
