Shetland: Scotland's Wondrous Isles

Shetland: Scotland's Wondrous Isles (2024- )

RunningDocumentary show

Welcome to The Shetland Islands – an archipelago of wonders, unlike anywhere else in the world. In this series we 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 meet native Shetlanders who live according to centuries' old traditions, feeding themselves at 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.

They're independent up here. They have to be…

We also meet the ‘incomers' who arrived in Shetland for the promise of a simpler life, and who fell in love with the place – from seasonal chefs who catch their own menu items, to shanty-singing choirmasters. It's a world where community spirit, resilience, independence and tradition are much-valued commodities.

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 5

On the second largest island in Shetland, Yell, locals gear up for their annual show - a celebration of all things agricultural and horticultural as well as local heritage. Third generation farmer James and his family have been involved in the show since it started so he's keen to put on a good show - but his cattle are less keen to take part. Veg grower John hopes to win the battle of the heavyweights with his huge pumpkin. And we follow Eve, the last remaining professional Fair Isle chair maker.
