21st Century Shetland Travelogue

VisitShetland will be hosting the launch of a new Shetland Travelogue in the Market Cross tourist information centre on 6th June 2008.

Ron McMillan spent weeks on the unbeaten Shetland tourist path, braving the weathers to explore scenic landmarks, archaeological treasure troves and remote islands so under-populated that for centuries they have lived with the threat of abandonment.

A travel writer for more than twenty years, McMillan casts an inquisitive and witty eye over present-day Shetland to interweave the Islands’ history, archaeology and 400-million-year-old geology with observations of a remarkably hospitable society that remains intricately connected to the outside world.

The event is also being held at the Shetland Classic Motor Show in Lerwick’s Clickimin Centre, on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th June, all day.
