About Unifirth

Unifirth perches on Shetland's western coast, reached via the A970 from Lerwick then minor roads through moorland and crofting country. The 25-kilometre journey from the main town passes Tingwall Airport and requires careful navigation of single-track roads with passing places. About 4 public EV chargers serve the wider area. The settlement sits beside one of Shetland's most sheltered harbours, where traditional yoal boats were once crafted using centuries-old island techniques.
