Lerwick is the only burgh and main port of the Shetland Islands in Scotland, found more than 100 miles (160 km) off the north coast of mainland Great Britain. Lerwick has a population (2001) of approximately 6,830 residents and is by far the northernmost town in Scotland, as well as in the entirety of the United Kingdom. Lerwick is about 210 miles from Aberdeen and 230 miles from both Bergen in Norway and Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands.
Lerwick lies on the east coast of the Shetland Mainland. It was founded in the seventeenth century as a herring and white fish seaport, and still thrives as a fishing and ferry port. The harbour is also busy with vessels supporting the offshore oil industry.
Tórshavn is the capital of the Faroe Islands. It is located in the southern part on the east coast of Streymoy. To the north west of the town lies the 347 meter high mountain Húsareyn, and to the southwest, the 350 meter high Kirkjubøreyn. The city itself has a population of 12.345. The city was founded in the 10th century and may well be the oldest capital in Northern Europe. The name of the city means Thor's Harbour, named after the god of thunder and lightning in Norse mythology. The Faroese usually refer to their capital as Havnin - the harbour.
Today Tórshavn is the undisputed administrative, economic and cultural center of the Faroes with nearly 20,000 people living in the metropolitan area which has continued to see population growth in past years. Tórshavn blends the historical and picturesque with all the features of a modern city. Tórshavn is located in the centre of the country, from where you can get to almost every corner of the country and back again on the same day due to a well-developed bus and ferry system.
The harbour is served by the Smyril Line international ferry service to Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Scotland. The harbour is also used by domestic ferry services of Strandfaraskip Landsins within the Faroe Islands, chiefly on the route to Tvøroyri.
