This was an apparently peaceful transition and there is little evidence of religious intolerance in Shetland's recorded history.
The islands were originally covered by 12 civil parishes: Bressay, Delting, Dunrossness, Fetlar, Lerwick, Nesting, Northmaven, Sandsting, Tingwall, Unst, Walls and Sandness, and Yell.
Shetland is part of the Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney of the Scottish Episcopal Church.
The Methodist Church has a relatively high membership in Shetland, which is a District of the Methodist Church (with the whole of the rest of Scotland comprising a separate District).
