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.
