About

Shetland North ward encompasses the northernmost reaches of the Shetland mainland, including the villages of Brae and Voe, along with the remote Northmavine peninsula. The landscape is defined by rugged coastline, deep voes, and rolling moorland. The area is sparsely populated, with settlement concentrated along the sheltered eastern shores. The ward's geography is dominated by Ronas Hill, Shetland's highest point, and the dramatic Esha Ness cliffs on its Atlantic coast.

The local economy has traditional ties to fishing and aquaculture, with significant salmon farming in the voes. Crofting remains a feature of the land. The area is known for its archaeological sites, including the Broch of Mousa, though this is actually located in a neighbouring ward. Transport relies on the A970 road, with ferries connecting to outlying islands like Yell and Unst from Toft, which lies within the ward's boundaries.
