northofscotland...
This part of Scotland is the first and last point of
reference as you sail to the Northern Isles. Departing from the industrial
part of Aberdeen the ferry picks its way through deep sea tugs before making
for the exposed North Sea.
On the routes departing from the far north of Caithness a dramatic cliff
coastline dominates the skyline.
The ferries in this area are the largest to operate in the Northern Isles
Network as they ferry thousands of passengers a year to the Islands.

Shetland Isles are some of the most rugged and awe inspiring around. The
remoteness of the islands has always made the sailing North an adventure.
Seafaring has always dominated Shetlands past, and with its modern network
of inter island ferries you can easily explore the most northerly tip of the
United Kingdom....some say standing at Muckle Flugga is like standing at the
end of the world...
The remote communities rely on some unique ferries that serve them to bring
good and essentials as often as the weather allows!
