I am hoping to come to Shetland next July and wondered you mention a bus from Lerwick to Unst which meets the morning ferry.
Does this bus go all the way on the island ferries or do I need to get off catch the ferry and then get a different bus? Also what sort of price is a return journey from Lerwick to Unst this year.
Thank you for your help and I hope to see your wonderful island next year.

The bus driver will keep you informed of when to change over bus – as long as you let them know you plan on going to Unst. I think the price is around £5 to get you to Unst. Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Paul
My wife and I are tourists at the moment, possibly potential relocators, but would certainly like to take a look at the island. Could you comment briefly on what the local provision for shopping for food, clothing etc is like, also what the best route to Unst might be (we’re coming from South West England so presumably via ferry from Aberdeen to Lerwick and then drive up using ferries?). What’s the mileage (roughly) from Lerwick to Unst? Sorry for such a list of inane questions, but hopefully you can help!

Hi,
Apologies for the slow reply. Local provisions are good with 3 local shops and a Post Office selling most everyday items and some sell kitchenware, homeware, hardware etc. Regarding clothing, there isn’t much provision on Unst although Lerwick has a variety of clothing shops and all the major retailers deliver to Unst (mail order catalogues, Amazon, John Lewis etc…).
The best way (with car) to get to Unst is by Northlink Ferry and then drive north to Toft. From there it will be 2 inter island ferries, separated with a drive through the island of Yell, and into Unst. The inter island ferry timetable is available here: http://www.shetland.gov.uk/ferries/timetable.asp
Hopefully this helps a bit.
Paul.

Hi
Are there any events on Unst between 4/9/11 and 22/9/11?
Also I’m up there 29/6/12 – 05/7/12 with Shetland Nature n was thinking of staying on a bit longer for the Unst Fest. Any ideas yet if it’s early/Mid or late July? I can’t work it out from previous years as it changes too much.
