Shag sheep, pump their cousins and eat the English
Farming, tourism, hospitality – people work, children take ferries to school.
I live in Orkney , same as the mainland but with out the massive clubs and fast food restaurants
Can be nice but some of the locals don’t like change
Lots of pedos that seem to live a happy life and no one bats an eyelid because they’re orcadian (not even joking)
If your an out sider and commit the smallest crime on the planet your seen as a murderer
They vote Lib Dem’s cause there dad and there grandad before them with no other reason
Thankfully it’s changing with the increase of outsiders deciding to live there
As for Shetland no idea
There are no trees. I know that much
Avoiding roasters such as yourself!
The movie wicker man was based on true events 👀
Basically like in the rest of the north people get bored and drink to oblivion.
We build Wicker Men.
most people spend there time trying to figure out what the heck that red line in the sea is.

A lot more churchy than us mainlanders is what ive heard
I cut around the beach naked doing wee pagan dances

But there are lots of archaeological sites down there. Skara Brae, Maeshowe, and the Tomb of the Eagles
There is also The Ness of Brodgar which is still being excavated.
Farming, Fishing, Oil, Renewables, Tourism and hating the English that keep populating the Islands
I used to live there, not much went on but it was very pretty
They’re practically Norwegian
Somehow no one has made a Shetland joke yet so I’m going to chime in with personal growth framed within emotionally intense murder investigations that reveal the dark underbelly of one of the most beautiful places on earth. Except for season 2.
Frolick in the fields, so many bloody fields 🫠
Just wait until you discover Shetland
It was great to visit. Lots to see and the folk were friendly as anything.
Then again, I grew up in Aberdeenshire, and it’s nice to visit and the folk are friendly to tourists, but it was boring as fuck to grow up there, so I imagine Orkney is the same.
Footer sheep…. with pride 😤
Where there is land, there is farm. No trees. A lot of really old, neatly arranged piles of rocks.

I haven’t been there myself but I hear Gaelic is more widely spoken and the visuals resemble Norway more than the rest of Scotland.
