The Houllands

The Houllands lies at the heart of Shetland's central mainland, just off the A970 near Brae. Most visitors arrive via this main island route, whether from Lerwick ferry terminals or Scatsta Airport 8km away. The area serves oil industry workers and locals with good connections to surrounding communities like Wethersta and Busta. Electric vehicle drivers will find roughly 4 public fast chargers nearby. The distinctive red-roofed houses of neighboring Brae, built for 1970s oil workers, create one of Shetland's most recognizable modern landmarks.
