The Shetland Isles are the most northerly group of islands in Scotland - situated 160 km
north of the Scottish mainland and 400 km west of Bergen, Norway.

Shetland comprises over 100 islands and has a very unique culture based on a strong sea faring
Viking heritage. In recent years aquaculture has been embraced by Shetlanders as an ideal way to
reap a sustainable crop from the rich waters which surround the islands. Our waters have
proven ideal for the culture of rope grown blue mussels, which are fast gaining an enviable
reputation in markets throughout Europe.
