Picturing Scotland: Shetland
Content: This book is set out in the form of a guided tour around the Shetland Isles, beginning in the south and working northwards. On the way, it takes in many islands and the more remote areas of Shetland's Mainland. The isles of Mousa, Burra, Bressay, Noss, Foula, Papa Stour, Whalsay, Yell, Fetlar, Unst and Muckle Flugga all show off their differing characters and unique charms. Along the way, many of Shetland's birds and animals make an appearance, from ponies to puffins and sheep to skuas. The book contains a total of 113 pictures.
For a list of featured locations, see below.
Market: Books in this series are bought by visitors and locals alike to give as gifts or to keep for their own enjoyment. They are also helpful to those planning a visit as the book leads the reader on a geographical tour of the area. To visitors, they are a great reminder of a visit, while local people buy them to send to friends and family to show off where they live.
