Lovely little cafe with friendly staff and great sea views. It's open from March to the first week in October (usually closes for the season after Shetland Wool Week has finished). Serves up big meals like fish & chips as well as lighter lunchtime snacks such as jacket potatoes. Lots of lovely cakes too - can recommend the Victoria sponge!

The view of the cliffs from here is simply beautiful.

A must on a Shetland tour, great views with beautiful lake with Viking remains along the coast

Great sandy beach that invites you to take a cool swim

Nice place with great shop and beautiful houses

Built between 1925 and 1929 the Esha Ness or Eshaness lighthouse stands proud on the top of the high sea cliffs. It used to have a lighthouse keeper but was automated in 1974 and the old keepers cottage is now holiday accommodation managed by the Shetland Amenity Trust.

The first museum in Scalloway was opened in 1985 by the Scalloway History Group and ran successfully for 20 years. One of the main topics was the "Shetland Bus" - the nickname for a secret and dangerous operation carried out across the North Sea between the Shetland Islands and occupied Norway during the Second World War. In 2001, the Shetland Bus Friendship Society (SBFS) was formed to memorialize the 44 men who died in the Shetland Bus operations. The memorial was inaugurated in 2003. Visit The Shetland Bus page for more details about the memorial and the names of the 44 fallen soldiers. By this time, the original museum had outgrown its old premises on Main Street, so the society initiated a six-year project to finance and establish the current museum in larger premises adjacent to the castle. The new museum was opened by the Prime Minister of Norway in 2012 and has become a very popular attraction for visitors from all over the world. It is owned by the municipality and operated by SBFS. It is staffed by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic group of volunteers.

The ruins are on a headland at the southeast end of Scalloway, opposite the harbour. It has an L-shaped floor plan and is still partly preserved up to the full height of four floors. The roof, on the other hand, collapsed, as did the intermediate floors. The masonry is of rubble stone, while the windows are framed by blocks of sandstone, which were also used as quoins at the edges of the building. The corners of the building are reinforced with bay towers with decorated corbels. Below the ruin is a vault that once housed the cellar and kitchen.
