Girlsta

Scotland

Girlsta lies along the A970 in central Mainland Shetland, about 6km northwest of Lerwick. The main route connects directly to Lerwick / Tingwall Airport and continues toward Brae, handling both island-wide traffic and local journeys. Electric vehicle drivers will find approximately 20 fast chargers nearby. The name derives from Old Norse "girl," meaning a small enclosed field, harking back to Viking-era agriculture.
