Bobby's Bus Shelter

4.7(144 reviews)

About

In Shetland, Bobby's Bus Shelter sits along the A968, Shetland ZE2 9TW, United Kingdom, drawing travellers on the island's north road. The shelter has become a landmark in its own right, known for the quirky contents that passing visitors have added over time.

First-time visitors should expect a small roadside stop rather than a formal attraction, with the shelter itself the main point of interest. Its reputation has spread well beyond Shetland, and a 4.7 out of 5 average across 144 reviews reflects how warmly it is regarded. The surrounding area takes in Lerwick, Scalloway, Brae, Yell, Unst, Whalsay and Bressay, giving a sense of the wider island spread.

A blog entry at https://www.shetland.org/blog/bobbys-bus-shelter provides background on the shelter and its story. Shetland's weather shifts often, so a waterproof layer is worth packing whatever the season.

Bobby's Bus Shelter rewards a short detour on a drive around the northern isles, and the location suits travellers already exploring the A968 corridor. Standing stones, brochs and early Christian chapels survive on many British islands, and Shetland holds its own share of that heritage.
