Lerwick

MV Costa Fortuna at anchor in Bressay Sound The size of the MV Costa Fortuna (464 cabins, nine swimming pools and five restaurants) meant that it was obliged to anchor out in the Sound rather than at the quayside in Lerwick. A flotilla of barges were kept busy ferrying passengers to and from the Victoria Pier. The Costa Fortuna is a sister ship to the ill-starred Costa Concordia which sank off the Italian coast in 2012.

Lerwick is the capital and largest town of the Shetland Islands, located off the northeastern coast of Scotland. Situated on the east coast of the mainland of Shetland, Lerwick is the most populous settlement in the archipelago, with a population of around 7,500 residents.

The town is known for its picturesque harbor, which serves as a hub for local fishing and maritime activities. Lerwick has a rich maritime heritage, with its port being an important center for trade and commerce in the North Sea. The town's main industries include fishing, oil and gas, and tourism.

Lerwick offers a range of amenities, including shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The town center is characterized by its narrow, winding streets and old stone buildings, giving it a charming and historic feel. Notable landmarks in Lerwick include the iconic Town Hall, which dominates the skyline with its clock tower, and the scenic Victoria Pier, where visitors can enjoy views of the harbor and surrounding islands.

The annual Up Helly Aa festival, held in January, is a major event in Lerwick. This fire festival celebrates the town's Norse heritage and involves a torchlit procession, the burning of a Viking longship, and various traditional festivities.

Lerwick is also a popular base for exploring the rest of the Shetland Islands. The surrounding natural beauty, with rugged coastlines, pristine beaches, and abundant wildlife, attracts nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers.

Overall, Lerwick offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and vibrant community life, making it an appealing destination for both residents and visitors.
