Lerwick

Lerwick is the main town and port of the Shetland archipelago, Scotland. Shetland's only burgh, Lerwick had a population of about 7,000 residents in 2010.Centred 123 miles off the north coast of the Scottish mainland and on the east coast of the Shetland Mainland, Lerwick lies 211 miles north-by-northeast of Aberdeen; 222 miles west of the similarly sheltered port of Bergen in Norway; and 228 miles south east of Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands. It is both the most northerly and the most easterly town in Scotland. One of the UK's coastal weather stations is situated there, with the local climate having small seasonal variation due to the maritime influence. Being located further north than Saint Petersburg and the three mainland Nordic capitals, Lerwick's nights in the middle of summer only get dark twilight and winters have below six hours of complete daylight.
