Solstice in the Shetland Islands

This weekend marks the summer solstice — the longest day of the year — and if you want to truly feel its magic, head to Lerwick in the Shetland Islands, closer to the Arctic Circle than London. With nearly 19 hours of daylight and skies painted in fiery oranges and blues during the brief twilight, locals call it “simmer dim.” Nestled in a Norse-inspired town of just 7,000 souls, Lerwick offers winding streets, ancient history, and wildlife galore — all under a sky that never truly sleeps.
