Wild Camping In The Shetland Islands

Apart from the official sites that are available, the welcoming attitude of the islanders means you can usually find an ideal spot for some “wild camping”, courtesy of the local farmers and crofters.

Contact the nearest house to find out who the landowner is, and just request permission! Don’t be afraid to ask for their advice, they will be more than happy to tell you whether it’s ok to camp there, or if not, recommend a better location for you. Always ask permission from the landowner beforehand, and please be aware of the Outdoor Access Code, and remember to dispose of your waste responsibly.
