Located halfway between Orkney and the Shetland Mainland, Fair Isle is a place rich in wildlife, cultural heritage and community spirit.
Three miles long by one and a half miles wide, the island is home to just sixty people. Since 1954 it has been owned by the National Trust for Scotland.
World famous for its birdlife, its traditional crafts, and its stunning scenery, Fair Isle is a wonderful place to visit. Come and experience it for yourself!
