Definition: The Shetland Islands are an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean, located off the northeast coast of Scotland. They consist of 20 inhabited islands, each with a different name or origin. The Shetlands were originally part of Denmark until it was ceded to Norway by Denmark in 1543. The islands are known for their rugged landscape and harsh conditions, which include steep cliffs, deep gullies, rocky outcrops, and rugged coastlines. They have been inhabited for thousands of years and many of the settlements bear evidence of human habitation from prehistoric times to medieval times. The Shetlands have a rich history, with legends and myths associated with them. Some famous historical figures who lived or died near the islands include William Wallace, the Scottish warrior who led a rebellion against King Robert the Bruce in 1306; Robert the Bruce, the English monarch who served as James V of Scotland from 1514 to 1527; and Queen Elizabeth I, the last reigning monarch of England. The Shetlands are also home to many cultural traditions, including Scottish Gaelic music, dance, and cuisine. They have a unique way of life based on hunting, fishing, farming, and gathering wild plants and berries. The islands are also famous for their wildlife, including seals, dogs, and polar bears.
