Mavis Grind
At this narrow isthmus, the waters of the North Sea and the Atlantic nearly meet. It is the thinnest point of the island, and on the map the coastline almost touches.

The map
Mainland Map Poster & Print
Shetland's Mainland is long and narrow, running north to south, and its coastline is extraordinarily indented. Long inlets called voes cut deep into it from both sides, so the island often seems to be made of several peninsulas held together by thin necks of land. Main roads follow these narrow strips and join scattered crofting settlements, bays and harbours from Sumburgh in the south to the northern headlands.
Lerwick, the capital of Shetland, lies on the east coast facing Bressay. Each winter it hosts the Up Helly Aa fire festival. At Mavis Grind, the land narrows so much that the North Sea and the Atlantic are separated by only a short strip of ground. Near the southern tip, the settlement site at Jarlshof shows thousands of years of continuous occupation.
A Mainland map poster is a study in coastline. Voes, sounds and islands intertwine, and the outline is almost as long as a much larger landmass. Lerwick's harbour streets form the densest cluster. The rest is a pattern of roads, lochs and bays that makes Shetland's geography unusually clear.

Lerwick harbour
Shetland's capital stretches along its sheltered harbour on the east coast, facing the island of Bressay. It has the densest street pattern on the island.
The voes
Long, fjord-like inlets cut into the island from both sides. They break it into peninsulas and give the poster its intricate, branching outline.

Why Mainland
A map that means something
Shetlanders living elsewhere, and visitors who came for the birds, the light and Up Helly Aa, find in this outline a very recognisable image of home or of a journey. The ragged coast looks especially striking in Noir, with the land picked out in light lines.
Add your own title and subtitle, a family name or the date of a crossing, and choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Download the HD files for $9 or order a matte print with an optional frame.
