i live in Shetland and we get A LOT of tourists every year from all over the world! It really is beautiful here
And you have no need for the word islands ,im Aussie and I know that,albeit i am half Leask from Shetland
What’s it like living there? I’m thinking of moving there and was hoping for some advice, please. 🤙🏻
Do you have a rivalry with people from Orkney?
@@lil-g4879 I live in Shetland and I think its one of the best places to live, lots of wildlife, places to explore and pretty landscapes. Winter can be wild but it's a beautiful place.
@@isaacrobertson4901 I can’t wait to go. Still planning on next year but just need to sort property etc. as I work remotely anyway. Hope to spend 3-4 months there, see how we like it as a family, and move permanently from then.
I am an Arab. I love scotland and scotish people are authentic friendly. I dream to visit shetland 😘
I am so proud to call Shetland my home, born and bred. I have lived here my whole life and will continue to live here for many years to come. It has been a delight to watch you guys explore this beautiful island that I call home.
Hi Rachel ☺✋... would love to visit some day... wish we could exchange for a bit.. i am from the Fiji islands.. I'm just inlove with ur country...
Hello Rachel
Zainab Razaq omg scary
It is beautiful.
I was born and raised in Huntington Beach, Southern California. But something in my DNA calls me all the way back to the Shetlands. Ancient memories of my soul.
I love how respectful this guy is and doesn’t say stuff like “British food is weird or disgusting” like 90% of American vloggers do when they come to the U.K.
You're obviously not from Scotland.
Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with that
@Stephen Wain Couldn't have said it better myself lad
It’s not even true. We have some world class food. Indian food for example
I never knew anyone could make Shetland look so beautiful In 1 video, I’ve lived here all my life and it’s great
This was one of the best trips we've ever taken! Loved shooting this!
If you visit in the future you have to go to muckle roe a small island in the west of Shetland 👍🏻
I call Shetland home after moving here from England a year ago! I do miss the convenience of living in the middle of England and having absolutely everything on my doorstep, but the people in this place are all incredibly welcoming and can’t do enough for you, I’m so lucky to be here. Every time I take a road trip here my socks get knocked right off my feet, was lucky enough to see wild otters, seals and even orcas! My heart feels so full after moving here and I can’t imagine being anywhere else ❤️ This is a great video and shows shetlands true beauty! Good job xox
Good for you gemzie.enjoy every moment because life is very short... cheers from Moira in Australia...originally from Glasgow .
@chrismacsims where are your people from? mine are from Unst.
Been living in Scotland for over 20 years. I guess we simply don’t appreciate what’s so close to us. I’m gonna definitely visit the Shetlands.
Shetland no s required
Never, ever call it “The Shetlands”
You will be murdered by the locals!
Trust me, I live here! 😂
I spent a total of four and a half years on Unst with the R.A.F. Loved the place and the people. If you referred to the locals as Scots you were very quickly informed that they were NOT Scots but Shetlanders. Very proud of their Viking heritage.
I’m glad you guys have visited Scotland there is soo much untapped beauty in the Highlands and Islands!! Thank you guys for promoting Scotland!
Our pleasure! We love Scotland and the British Isles in general!
This is where I'm from & pretty much all of my dads family still live there. My heart belongs in Shetland. It's a truly amazing place, so much history & like you said the scenery is breathtaking!
Why shetland people are beautifull?
@@LOUGHBRAWI Because you're blind
my people too (Tait), my first 99 ice cream was in Lerwick
@@croatianwarmaster7872
Some viking blood.
What are are your people from on the islands? Mine are from Unst.
I’m from Shetland and I think this video is amazing, really captures what it’s like up here and I’m impressed with your pronunciation of everything! Excited for the up helly aa vid
Makes me sooo happy to see people I watch on TH-cam explore the beautiful country I live in! Not enough people see it’s beauty! I live in the north east of Scotland, next time you visit you should explore near here, I live in a a beautiful fishing village surrounded by the water and a beach! Moray is world famous for whisky and it’s distilleries. Glad you enjoyed Scotland so much!
Hi S9 4, love to see people from Scotland commenting on youtube making their voices heard! We are new Scottish youtubers who make travel videos around Scotland we would love your support and opinion on our channel. We totally agree with you not enough people get to see our beautiful country. Sub and let every one up there know about us we need your help to show it off to as many people as poss!
I’m from Shetland and it’s an amazing place
What's your snap
I lived in the Shetland Islands for around 7 years! Amazing that you had the chance to discover this magical place that a lot of people haven't even heard of! :)
I live in Shetland very proud of our little Island but in the summer when it is the simmer dim it is beautiful
Thank you for captioning the video. The deaf community appreciates it.
I too live in Shetland and folk have no idea how a sheltered and high quality life it is here. Earthly paradise away fae da madness o'da world! A microcosm o'da world in breathtaking land, sea and skyscapes. Thank you, boys, for celebrating it the way you do :D
My late Grandfather grew up in Shetland and left as a young man to sail the World. I've been back. It's a very special place.
I can't even explain what this evoked in me! Such amazing beauty & history! And those BEAUTIFUL ponies. What a dream to go there. Can't wait for the entire series.

*You* are watching Vagabrothers.
These are ponies in sweaters.
Best intro ever.
Hahahaha it was a great moment for us too. Should we keep the ponies? 😋🙌🏼
Yesss! You definitely should. :D
track at 3:00?I want it on funeral of my cat
@@vagabrothers
Ask the ponies, bet they'd say neigh.
Awesome work on capturing the epic scenery of the Shetland Islands. Makes me so proud to be Scottish and to have all of this on my doorstep! Would definitely recommend checking out the more of the west coast islands from Isle of Arran, Jura, Tiree and up to Skye and work your way through all their own brewery's and distilleries 😀
Can't wait for the next episode to see Up Helly Aa! Keep up the good work guys 👍
Thanks Emily! We definitely need to explore more of scotland! Hopefully soon!
Hey Vagabrothers if you are ever in Scotland again we would love to sohw you some of our fav places. yous been a major inspiration for us and love the fact that you guys love Scotland!
I'm a New Zealander and this is so far away from where I am but definitely on my bucket list
You'd be amazed how many New Zealanders can trace their heritage back to Shetland. A lot of Shetlanders emigrated to New Zealand in the 18th/19th century.
Check out the Faroe Islands too. The Shetlands on steroids.
@@urso_polar_nz Yeah, Faroe's beautiful too, similar looking to Shetland. We have hills in Shetland, in Faroe they have mountains.
I'm a Shetlander and New Zealand was on my bucket list until I visited the South Island in 2019, desperate to go back for longer.
New Zealander who has Shetland ancestry here. My great great (one more great depending on who you ask...) grandfather came from unst, last lived at Feal and jumped ship to get here hahaha
I'm here after watching the series Shetland on Netflix. The island is so beautiful 😍
This place is on my bucket list! I was in Scotland 2 months ago and just wow. Easily my favourite country I've been to. Edinburgh is gorgeous and the Highlands are magnificent (highly recommend a rabbies tour), never seen such beauty in my life and the history is amazing! I have heaps of Scottish ancestry and I love learning about it all! Already planning my next trip :) Looking forward to the next video!
My great grandpa was born in Shetland! He moved to Australia when he was in his late teens! I’ve already wanted to visit but never have.
Thank you for this video. I'm a Shetlander living in Kent, UK. I miss home so this is great to watch!
I miss Scotland. This video was incredibly stunning.
Miss me with that electronic music, when you go to places like this I need that Skyrim soundtrack
Agree wholeheartedly
I was thinking the exact same thing!!! haha
Lived there six years .
Son born in the Gilbert Bain.
Fabulous time !
Best place t live in the UK by far !
My ancestors are from here and i've never been, definitely on my bucket list! Looks beautiful, lovely video as well
Definitely worth visiting Charlotte :)
Probably the most beautiful travel video I've ever watched. Actually got a little weepy.
It would take at least 3 months to see the whole of Scotland e.g. from Mull of Kintyre to the Shetland Islands and back down to the Borders. Its a fly/drive fantasy trip that wont disappoint.
This video is stunning! Fantastic scenery and excellent editing too. Love the ponies too :) Looking forward to the Viking video!
Wow! This is really next level cinematography. I think this is one of the best videos you guys have made. I'm super stoked to see the Viking festival. Keep up the great work guys!
Hi, If you love cinematic footage in Scotland then you need to check us out! We are new Scottish travel youtubers who would love to have your opinion and support on our channel!
Thank you Kirsten :)
It felt great to watch this. So glad to see you back doing what you do best, not click-bait travel advice videos or gimmicky 360 videos, but an educational story supported by beautiful graphics and your authentic reactions to the beauty around you.
This is what brought me to your channel back when you had 4000 subscribers (and inspired me to travel to the Basque Country). This is what keeps me coming back. This is the sort of content I'm looking for and you're great at it.
Thank you for sharing this!
I can endorse that. Great to see young lads Express so much interest in our British history and presenting it so well.
Scotland has some much to offer to see and experience. I can't wait to see and visit every place in Scotland. On my bucket list for sure!!!
Lived there for 3 years when they were building Sullom Voe Oil Terminal....... Stunningly beautiful.....Loved all my time there.
i was there in summer 2017 even if for just 2 days. I had great weather and stunning views all over the main island, hell of a place!
Great music choice, wonderful scenery, well told - amazing job, as always!
Thank you!
I've never heard about this place before. Thank you guys for share this adventure!
Great video work. The last battle between the Vikings and the Scots took place in my hometown of Largs in 1263.
Hello from the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴! (I’m from there)
Stop killing the whales and dolphins. Disgusting.
@@desbrittain9952 I'm sure billthegamer is actively doing that. Idiot
@@striker5439 he probably is.
Wow!!! Gorgeous landscapes and mind boggling ruins. Loved watching this. Wish you guys the best!!!
👏🏼👏🏼 cheers!!
Sublime. Magical. Watched to the end. Thank you
Those horses in slowmo deserve to be featured in a shampoo commercial! They’re so worth it! 😃🤣Great vlog ✌🏻
they did have a phone commercial look for shetland pony commercial. the ponys name is socks
Amazing! Ive just discovered that I have ancestors from the Shetlands ..so its fascinating,thanks .
God, I love Scotland so much! Beautiful video!
As a Brit, I appreciate your vlogs here a lot. My homeland is both ancient, and understatedly beautiful. I feel it can be often overlooked as most travellers beeline to London for a weekend and call it quits. Makes me think about the places I miss when I’m travelling abroad.

Beautifully crafted video, very well made. I traveled to Shetland Main from the Isle of Wight this Summer, it was a long haul but well worth it.
Thank you for sharing.
Holy mother of production!!!
Hahaha - glad you liked it!
Excellent video, 10/10. The camera work is so amaziinngggggggg!
Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh, this place looks absolutely amazing!

We just wanted to let you know about our channel mwe are Scottish and make travel videos around Scotland and thought if you liked the vagabrothers video you would like ours. Come and check us out we would love your support and opinion on our content?
The scenery...amazing! So similar to the west of Ireland
Never got that at my chippy!! Looks yummy! Scenery is absolutely gorgeous
Rocks and water, so what more can you ask for? 💖 my Father's family is from Norway, and I watch the Shetland TV show, which shows some of the same scenery. It's lovely there. It'd be perfect for me.
You'll have 1 million subscribers before you know it. The videos you create are always fantastic quality, both in terms of video quality and the information you put out about the locations you visit. Keep going with the great work!
My dad's a kiwi and my mom's Welsh and I was raised in Canada and know live in Wales! I just watched your vlog on Wales and I loved it! Thought I'd share that with you! And yes I've subscribed ! Well done boys!
Cheers Jonathan!! Kiwi Canadian! Good combo :)
vagabrothers were brothers with separate mothers! Nice didn't think you would reply ! You made my day! Cheers boys!
Nice upload, I lived on Unst for a year. Glorious island about 10 x 4 miles in size. Don’t visit outside of summer. Wintertime can be grim with little daylight.
I like the fact that you get into the ruins close enough like we would if we were exploring. Thank you for the ponies too.
Stunning!!
This video was incredibly beautiful. The scenery is stunning and the video editing was fantastic.
Thank you!! Constantly trying to improve the craft :)

Well done! I loved it so much. Not only was the scenery beautiful and the whole video amazing. Your editing was prime 👏🔥
Welcome to our beautiful Isles. You have made me feel proud to be British. You also have great appreciation for the beauty around you and great skill for conveying it through the camera work. My name is Frankie and I do love fish and chips too. Enjoy and thank you.
Just a tip guys....try to get some local perspective in these vids. You didn't capture, or speak with any of the people. Saw the place....where were the people?
Exactly...I wanted to see them in a bar or at least walking around a town.
@@desbrittain9952 am from Shetland i would speak ahahah
Oh, I enjoyed it just as it is.
It was like a first look, a taste, not a dousing of culture.
I loved it.
There’s barely any people. I moved here last year. There’s more sheep than people, by a lot. I could interview some of them for you, if you like? 😛
I knew Shetland because of Shetland Wool, which made great winter garments that I wore as a youth.
I like the way you do these videos. Just beautiful scenery and few descriptive words. Leaves it up to the viewer to decide if they want to visit. Very cool!
excellent well constructed no bs.... just good fitting narrative to visual continuity... greetings from tasmania
Alex and Marko, what a beautiful video of the Shetland Islands! I traveled to Scotland last year and going went up to the Highlands, so this looks like something I need to go back to see. Excited to watch more content about Scotland. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Chicago!

Cheers lads, yet another beautifully produced and put together video.
Many thanks from sleepy North Wales.
Hope it’s starting to warm up over there! We loved Wales but it sure was chilly
Been there twice and it’s all coming back to me, thanks.
Great travel story gents! You certainly have shown Shetlands true side of beauty.
I am originally from the outer Hebrides, Isle of Harris. It is just as if not more beautiful. IF you are still in Scotland I thoroughly recommend! My hometown of Leverburgh 👌
Enjoy the rest of your journey
We’ve been to the Isle of Lewis! That was one of our first travel vlogs from 5 years ago! Check it out!
Yeah I saw that vlog (Y) Harris is very different in its landscape style, beaches and hills/munro
Definitely recommend if you are back.
Not sure if you are familiar with him but have a look at John Maher (ex Buzzcoks drummer) work, he looks at the abandoned bothies in their pre existing state, very interesting. He has had exhibitions in Edinburgh & Glasgow and recently a German TV series of his work.

You guys make the best travel videos; they're all so high quality and very informative, thank you Vagabrothers !
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful video. I love the thought behind the music put into these videos. Always fits impeccably 👌
Thank you!
Næt F. What is the name this music !?
So beautiful. Thank you! My family immigrated from the Shetlands to South Australia in the early 1900s.

Gorgeous video, we've visited Shetland twice in the last year, from SoCal. Can't wait to go back after the COVID-19 shutdowns are over. P.S. Scotland is one of our favorite places on earth, visited 10 times!!
Our Shetland Pony "Rosie" is a beast but we love her! 💕 😘

Absolutely stunning!! What a gorgeous scenery!! Thanks sharing it with us! Can't wait to see it myself!!
Are you planning a trip?

Labs you cease to amaze me I remember subscribing to your channel when you did the videos about the Viking in York this is a visual masterpiece
Thank you! The Viking theme is strong in our channel hahaha!
vagabrothers I love the Vikings even though technically they are the Enemy of the Brits
Peninsula Painting Projects
* "you never cease to amaze me.."
I love the Shetland Islands I went there the first time as a kid in the late seventies...hopefully you managed to get to the outer Hebrides too....and if you found the Shetlands a delight.... go even farther into the North Atlantic.. to the Faroe Islands I took a Smyril Line ferry in January from the NE Icelandic port of Seydisfjordur to the Faroes 18 hours across the stormy wintry N Atlantic and then another 36 hours on the ferry to Hirtshals in Northern Denmark...simply one of the best ferry trips in Europe...Summer or winter...
but before anyone decides to visit the Faroe Islands they should check out the “grind” - disgusting and heartbreaking what they do to whales and dolphins.
Laureen, i'm aware of what you describe, and it is horrendous, and like similar instances of abuse towards sentient creatures in japan can not be condoned, and while righteous blame can be laid on those who choose such cruelty as a lifestyle and falsely defend it in terms of cultural heritage, that will not allow me to condemn the entire country , nor would it prevent me from a further visit to and support of those who do not benefit from that particular barbarism in their country...acts of inhumane behavior are legion across the planet and courageous voices such as yours raise much needed awareness...thank you
Hi Jim, If you love Shetland and Scotland then come and check out our channel we make travel videos around Scotland and would love your support and opinion on our content. Any suggestions on where we should film next?
I never knew the Shetland Islands it was formally part of Norway. I had a friend who used to work there. Also, ponies in sweaters are the cutest!!!
Could just tell from your Biggest Baddest Bucket List videos that you were on your way! So glad now your following has grown to reflect your talented presentations!
All your shots around stone corners etc were so creative and cool!
Vikings are cool and all, but ponies in sweaters are next level. Awesome video as always guys!!
Loved it 🌊 🏴
its a treat to watch your blogs @vagabrothers ☺️
The food in Fish & Chips made my mouth watering!
Keep up the amazing work, you inspire me everyday to get out and see new things. Thanks for what you do everyday!
🙏🏼
vagabrothers anything new videos of your experiences in Germany? 🇩🇪
Best video I’ve seen on TH-cam in a long while 🙌
