About Gonfirth

Gonfirth lies in central Mainland Shetland, reached via the A970 from Lerwick or A971 from the west coast communities. Most journeys are local runs between neighbouring settlements like Voe and Aith, though visitors typically drive the 45-minute route from Lerwick after arriving by ferry or plane. About three EV charging points serve the area, and the name means "muddy fjord" in Old Norse, hinting at dramatic coastal changes over the centuries.
