Shetland: Scotland’s Wondrous Isles on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E1 – Welcome to The Shetland Islands – an archipelago of wonders, unlike anywhere else in the world.
In this series we’ll come ashore in this magical world, where seabirds outnumber people by a factor of many hundreds, and where you’re closer to the Arctic Circle than you are to London.
We’ll meet the native Shetlanders who live according to centuries old traditions, feeding themselves on the ‘croft’ farms that have fed the locals for many centuries, or the fishing fleets that have wrenched precious sustenance from the ever-powerful sea.
And that’s to say nothing of the beauty of the landscape – from stunning beaches, to rugged cliff faces and sweeping landscapes. Join us on this celebratory journey, uncovering the magic that defines Shetland and the compelling stories that make it a truly exceptional destination.
Episode One:
The journey begins on the tiny island of Noss, with wardens Jen and Sally. They are the only residents and live a truly off-grid existence – with no mains water, electricity or gas – and even grow their own food in case they become stranded by the unpredictable weather.
The upside is they have a front row seat to witness some of Shetland’s most spectacular wildlife.
