About Setter

Setter lies on Yell, Shetland's second-largest island, reached via the A968 from Ulsta ferry terminal just 3km away. The village overlooks Yell Sound, where fierce tidal currents create some of Britain's most treacherous sailing waters. About 2 EV chargers serve the area, essential given the remote island setting.
