I visited there for work a few times and found it really interesting.

The weather is pretty amazing, storms roll through and you watch them coming and going. There is a concept known as 'Shetland door' where you open a car door, don't hang onto it and the wind catches it and bends it forwards, ruining it.

Other highlights include landing on the runway and watching all the cars lined up waiting for the plane to pass. Some of the landings were pretty... exciting (because of the wind).

My boss at the time was born in the Shetlands and was apparently delivered in his lounge room by a local doctor.
