Interpreters Near You in Lerwick

Lerwick is the administrative centre of Shetland and has been its capital since 1708, when it took over from Scalloway. Lerwick Sheriff Court, on King Erik Street, covers the Shetland Islands, and a justice of the peace court sits in the same building; the next nearest sheriff court is in Kirkwall, about 103 miles south-west. The Gilbert Bain Hospital, run by NHS Shetland, provides secondary care for all of Shetland from the town, so most serious appointments on the islands happen here rather than being sent south.

Getting here matters more than in most towns. NorthLink runs a daily overnight ferry between Lerwick and Aberdeen that regularly calls at Kirkwall, and flights use Tingwall Airport, a few miles away, or Sumburgh Airport further south, so the practical question for any booking is which route a visitor or patient is using and how much of the day that leaves. When a crossing or a flight is cancelled, a telephone or video interpreter can keep the appointment going, and we take bookings 24/7.

Scotland's Census 2022 recorded 6,709 residents in the Lerwick settlement. Scalloway, the old capital, is about 5 miles west, and Baltasound on Unst is about 43 miles north in a straight line, a journey that takes two ferry crossings by way of Yell. Both look to Lerwick for anything beyond the most local services, and we cover appointments in all three, face to face, by telephone or by video.
