With three fault lines running through the isles, the Geology of Shetland is some of the most diverse in Europe and is the reason why Shetland currently holds UNESCO Geopark Status. We drive to the North West mainland of Shetland where the oldest rocks in Shetland, Lewisian Gneiss at 2.9 billion years old, can be found. On our way North we witness fantastic cliff scenery and sea stacks shaped by the full force of the Atlantic. We arrive at Shetland’s volcano – Eshaness – active 390 million years ago. After a short photo stop, we return South, taking in the view of Shetland’s highest point, the red granite of Ronas Hill, 450m high and 450 million years old. We stop at Tangwick Haa Museum, built in the late 17th century as the home of the laird and where you can browse the exhibits to learn more of the history of Northmavine and have an opportunity to browse some local crafts. We return South via Brae for lunch at Frankie’s Fish and Chip shop before heading back to Lerwick

About Lerwick
Lerwick is the capital of Shetland, a stone harbour town on the east side of Mainland, famous for its fire festival and Norse heritage.
Lerwick is the only town in Shetland, built around a natural harbour on the east side of the main island. Its stone lanes and flagged main street, Commercial Street, run along the waterfront, and Fort Charlotte, a pentagonal fort begun in the 1660s, overlooks the harbour. The Shetland Museum and Archives tells the story of the islands from prehistory through the Norse era to the modern oil industry.
