landsShetland

Land Shetland refers to the subarctic archipelago situated to the northeast of the coast of Scotland, in the Northern Isles. The archipelago is formed by more than 100 islands, with the largest island being the Mainland. The main industries in Shetland are fishing, aquaculture, and oil and gas production. The region's scenic beauty and diverse natural and cultural heritage make it a popular tourist destination.

The climate in Shetland is influenced by its oceanic location and high latitude. The archipelago experiences a temperate seaboard climate, with mild winters and cool summers. The midsummer sun can be relatively strong due to the region's high latitude. The geology of Shetland is primarily composed of ancient volcanic rocks, as well as gneiss, schist, and granites.

Shetland has a unique cultural identity, shaped by its history and geography. The native Celtic and Viking influences can be seen in the local music, folklore, and traditions. The region has been inhabited since the Mesolithic period, with archaeological evidence showing human presence dating back to around 7,000 years ago. Scotland acquired Shetland as part of a treaty in 1468, and it has remained part of the country since then. Shetland has its own parish council and supports Scottish domestic policies. The region has become home to people of diverse nationalities, particularly those with a connection to the indigenous population.
