North Isles

The main islands in the group are Yell, Unst and Fetlar.

The group also contains the most northerly land of the United Kingdom and Shetland at Out Stack near Muckle Flugga, and its most northerly settlement Skaw on Unst.

These also happen to be the most northerly British territorial claims currently in existence, since Canadian independence.

In similar fashion, Britain's most northerly maritime claims are also based on these islands, having great effect on its fishing and oil industries.

Other British records include - The regular ferries are the most northerly scheduled routes in the British Isles (excluding those going to the Faroes and Iceland).
