This is alist of Shetland islands inScotland. The Shetland archipelago is located 100 kilometres (62 mi) north of mainland Scotland and the capitalLerwick is almost equidistant fromBergen inNorway andAberdeen in Scotland. TheShetland archipelago comprises about 300 islands andskerries, of which 16 are inhabited. In addition to theShetland Mainland the larger islands areUnst,Yell andFetlar.
The definition of an island used in this list is that it is land that is surrounded by seawater on a daily basis, but not necessarily at all stages of the tide, excluding human devices such as bridges and causeways. There are four islands joined to the Shetland Mainland by bridges,East Burra,West Burra,Trondra, andMuckle Roe. There is also a bridge fromHousay toBruray. Nowhere in Shetland is more than three miles (5 km) from the sea. Mavis Grind (Old Norse for "gate of the narrowisthmus") is a narrow neck of land little more than 100 metres (328 feet) wide separatingSt. Magnus Bay and the Atlantic in the west fromSullom Voe and theNorth Sea in the east.
