📌 Scalloway, Shetland Mainland
★★★
Scalloway‘s comprehensive town museum is surely the place to start any trip to this central region of Shetland Mainland. Logically-arranged displays focus mainly on local events and the Shetland Bus of World War II, with a collection of boats to inspect outside too. There’s a lot to see, and the distinct Scalloway focus is a big change from Shetland Museum (whose content encompasses the entire archipelago); rivalry with the town’s bigger neighbour is palpable! You can also pick up the key here for Scalloway Castle.
