Interpreters Near You in Scalloway

Scalloway, the largest settlement on the west coast of Mainland Shetland, was the capital of the islands until 1708, when that role passed to Lerwick, about 5 miles east. Lerwick is where most public business for the village now happens: Lerwick Sheriff Court on King Erik Street covers the Shetland Islands, and NHS Shetland's Gilbert Bain Hospital is about 4 miles east of Scalloway. The bus between the two is the number 4, worth knowing when a client without a car has an appointment in town.

The North Atlantic Fisheries College, part of the University of the Highlands and Islands, is located in Scalloway, and the village is a working fishing port, so interpreting here is not only for people who live in it. Scotland's Census 2022 counted 1,175 people in the Scalloway settlement. Because Shetland is an island group rather than a stretch of mainland, anyone booking should allow travel time between settlements and check that a client can actually reach Lerwick on the day.

We cover the whole of Shetland, in person, by phone or by video, and we take bookings at any hour, so a late-notice appointment on the islands need not wait until the next working day. Baltasound, on Unst, is about 45 miles north and two ferry crossings away, and the next sheriff court beyond Lerwick is in Kirkwall, about 99 miles south-west across the sea.
