The Shetland Islands are the ultimate expression of Scotland: vast expanses of green, the dark sea that hits the cliff and clean air scented with musk. The rhythm of the small capital of Shetland beats to the gentle pace of fishing. On arriving at Lerwick harbour you’ll see Fort Charlotte and, outside the city, the Tower of Clickimin Broch.

Reykjavik is an absolute “must” when you visit Iceland. It was once called the “smoky bay”, owing to the hot springs located near to the port of Reykjavik. You can admire Lake Tjörnin, right in the centre of the city, an emblem of harmony with nature which is typical of this locality.
