Bixter is a village on the west side of the Shetland Islands, located more than 160 km (99 mi) off the north coast of mainland Scotland.
The Bixter Health Centre lies opposite to the council houses.
The first Bixter shop was established in the 1840s by William Tulloch - his descendants still live in Aithsting.
"S.Johnston Services" is the main shop in the local area, which has been in business since February, 2014.
3 km south west of Bixter lies Stanydale Temple, a Neolithic hall containing a large oval chamber.
