Shetland Islands Audio Tour: Echoes and Legends of Freefield’s Heart
In the heart of Lerwick cannon smoke once drifted above ancient stones while silent tides carried secrets into hidden harbors. Beneath the weathered walls and striking waterfronts lies a city of unlikely intrigue. This is your self-guided audio adventure. Wander cobbled lanes and wind-battered fortresses to uncover stories that most eyes—and ears—pass by. Who risked everything behind Fort Charlotte’s ramparts on the brink of invasion? Which lost artifact still haunts the Shetland Museum’s shadows, its origin fiercely debated? Why was an obscure concert at Mareel the catalyst for a controversy that divided locals for years? Move through centuries in minutes as legends flicker beside you, scandals echo off stone, and timeworn tales spill into today’s bustling life. Each stop transforms familiar ground into a stage of forgotten rebellion, lively innovation, and enduring mystery. Dare to unlock Lerwick’s unseen layers. Let the journey begin where history whispers loudest.
