Where Britain Meets the Arctic
Shetland, lying closer to Bergen than to Edinburgh, is Britain's most northerly inhabited archipelago — 100 islands of dramatic moorland, Viking heritage, and some of the world's finest coastal wildlife including puffins, orcas, and red-necked phalaropes.
Shetland's prosperity has been underpinned by oil since the 1970s — Sullom Voe terminal handles a significant proportion of UK North Sea oil. The community-owned Shetland Charitable Trust has invested oil revenues in infrastructure over decades. Energy transition presents both challenge and opportunity.
Shetland Charitable Trust (unique community wealth fund), HIE Shetland, Islands Growth Deal, Oil & Gas UK transition support.
