Fair Isle

Fair Isle lies 24 miles south of Sumburgh and remains a vibrant community despite its isolation. Famous for its migrant birds and knitwear patterns, the island has two lighthouses and in summer is home to many breeding seabirds. Now owned by the National trust for Scotland, it can be reached by sea and air from the Shetland Mainland.
