Attractions:
Shetland
Lerwick is centered around its busy harbour, particularly during the summer
months, when cruise liners, yachts and motor cruisers arrive from ports
all around the North Atlantic. Lerwick has a population of around 7500,
approximately one third of Shetland's total population. The shops, pubs,
restaurants, hotels and guesthouses bustle all year with locals, visiting
businessmen, tourists and seafarers.
Places of interest include Clickimin Broch - an outstanding
example of Bronze Age and Iron Age architecture; Fort Charlotte - built
in 1665; the Bod of Gremista - an 18th century fishing booth; the picture-postcard
Lodberries - old merchants' houses with their own piers; and the Museum,
with a fascinating collection of artifacts illustrating Shetland's history,
tradition and crafts - knitting, spinning, lace-making, fiddle music and
Up-Helly-Aa.
Up-Helly-Aa - A Beginners' Guide
For 24 hours, on the last Tuesday of January, the town of Lerwick goes
more than a little mad.
"There will be no postponement for weather". That's a defiant
boast by Shetland's biggest fire festival, considering it's held in mid-winter
on the same latitude as southern Greenland. But it's true: gales, sleet
and snow have never yet stopped the Up Helly Aa guizers of Lerwick from
burning their Viking galley - and then dancing the dawn away.
Aberdeen:
Aberdeen's famous 'Granite Mile', Union Street, is the gateway to over
800 shops, restaurants and bars. Visitors can chill-out in lovely flower-filled
parks - Aberdeen is 13 times winner of Britain in Bloom. Best of all,
the city has its own golden sandy beach.
The city centre features the opulent Marischal College and the colonnaded
Art Gallery with its fine collection, which have been preserved as museums.
Union Street continues west to the cosmopolitan West End, where much of
the city's nightlife can be found.
To the south, the harbour heaves with boats serving the fishing and oil
industries, while north of the centre lies attractive Old Aberdeen, a
village neighbourhood presided over by King's College and St Machar Cathedral,
and influenced by the large student population. Aberdeen's long beach,
with its esplanade development, marks the city's eastern border, only
a mile or so from its centre.
