Become our Friend

Become a Friend of Wild Skies Shetland and support thriving skies, a vibrant community, and lasting connections.

Stay connected to the magic of Unst

Do you live in Unst? Were you born here? Maybe you once lived or worked here, or perhaps your parents did? Could it be that you have visited and felt something stay with you long after you left? Unst has a way of calling people back.

There’s a magnetism in this island – in its wild horizons, its quiet strength, its beauty and mystery. For many, that connection never fades. Whether near or far, people find themselves returning – in person or in spirit – searching for that feeling of space, freedom and belonging that only Unst can offer.

 

We are dedicated to celebrating and protecting the island’s extraordinary skies – the vast, ever-changing canopy that makes this place so special.

From soft pink winter sunrises over snow-covered hills…to the golden glow of the simmer dim at midnight in June…

From dramatic autumn rainbows sweeping across the landscape…to the Northern Lights dancing across dark winter nights…

 

Wherever you are in the world, you can remain part of Unst’s story and be part of something lasting.
