Fair Isle is one of Britain's most remote inhabited islands. It is situated approximately halfway between the Orkney and Shetland islands.

Despite its far-flung location and air of peaceful seclusion, Fair Isle is a hive of industry. The island is famous for its patterned knitwear which is still sold worldwide. Today, the island’s craftspeople are busy with boat-building, spinning and weaving, and the manufacture of furniture and stained-glass windows.

Cultural Cruising with the National Trust for Scotland
