About Browland

Browland lies in Shetland's West Mainland, reached via the A970 from Lerwick then local roads branching west. Most journeys are short hops between neighbouring settlements like Hestaford and Walls, though visitors typically drive 25 miles north from the Lerwick ferry terminals. The village sits amid classic Shetland moorland dotted with lochs, where Atlantic weather keeps temperatures mild year-round. The nearby Neolithic settlement at Scord of Brouster contains 4,000-year-old stone houses from Scotland's earliest farming communities.
