Lerwick is the capital of Shetland, Britain's most northerly town, with a spectacular natural harbour and a unique cultural identity blending Scottish and Norse traditions (celebrated in the famous Up Helly Aa fire festival). The town is a major oil and gas service base, and the Shetland Isles' strong fishing, aquaculture, and knitwear industries all operate from here.
“Shetland capital with strong oil and gas sector. Major fishing and aquaculture. Remote but prosperous.”
