Mainland sett från Uyea

Denna lista över Shetlandsöarnas öar tar upp öar som varit eller är bebodda.

Scallowayöarna är en liten skärgård vid öppningen av Weisdale Voe i sydväst. Nordöarna kallas de större öarna i norr: Yell, Unst och Fetlar. Det finns också en mängd öar i Yell Sound mellan Mainland och Yell och i St. Magnus Bay i väster, särskilt vid sundet Swarbacks Minn.

Dokumentationen om tid då sista bosättningen lämnat de mindre, numer obebodda öarna är ofullständig, men alla öarna på listan som följer ska ha varit bebodda under någon tid från yngre stenåldern, under pikternas tid eller vikingatiden.

Den högsta punkten på öarna i Shetland kallas ofta för 'Ward'. Detta kommer från de vårdkasar som förr tändes i varningssyfte.[1]

Ögruppens folkmängd uppgick år 2001 till 21 988[2] och växte till 23 167 fram till folkräkningen 2011.[3]

Detta är en utökad lista av obebodda, mindre öar i Shetland, tidvattensöar som endast separeras vid högvatten, och skär som bara blottas vid lågvatten. Många av dessa öar kallas "holm" från det fornnordiska holmr. "Swarta Skerry" (fornnordiska:' svartar sker) - "svart skär" är också ett vanligt namn, liksom "Linga", som betyder "Ljungö", "Taing" (fornnordiska: tangi) som betyder "tunga" och "Flaesh" (fornnordiska: fles) som betyder "platt skär".[7] "Hog" och "calf" kallas vanligen små öar, vanligen intilliggande en större ö.
