Corcadal | Shetland

The Shetland islands are the most northerly in the British isles. Rich in wildlife, they have hundreds of miles of dramatic coastline and white sandy beaches.

The islands are closer to Norway than to the Scottish mainland and being so far away from mainland Britain, islanders have always had to be independent and self-sufficient.

This five part series was co-produced with Daisybeck studios for Channel 5. It follows the stories of a diverse cast of proud Shetlanders and celebrates the beauty of the islands and the rich cultural traditions and independent spirit of its residents.
