This excursion begins with an orientation spin through Lerwick, then brings you to two of Shetland’s most famous attractions. Founding in the 1600s and known for its lodberry piers and restored tolhouse, Lerwick wasn’t always the Shetlands’ capital; it took over that title in 1708. You’ll actually pay a call on the town that lost that designation. Scalloway deserved to lose out, if the character of its notorious castle owner is any indication. The hulking ruins of Scalloway Castle lord over this now-busy fishing port – a silent, photogenic reminder of Earl Patrick Stewart, the early 17th-century despot who extorted crushing taxes and fines from island residents before his excessive cruelty was properly punished – by hanging. After a visit to this forbidding bastion, the charm of a drive through the Tingwall Valley for an encounter with wooly Shetland Ponies will surely hit the spot. The venue you’ll visit is operated by a dedicated Shetland pony enthusiast who breeds the highest quality animals; Carol or a member of her staff will share their knowledge of these delightful, inquisitive ponies and arrange an informal introduction. The drive back through Mainland’s peat- and heather-covered landscape will offer spectacular vistas and further cultural insights.
