Yell has some of the most beautiful beaches in Shetland; due to its clear waters and relatively quiet coastline the chance of seeing otters is excellent and orcas are not uncommon in Yell sound through the summer. Yell has a leisure centre with swimming pool, schools, several shops and a busy local community. Shetland offers low pollution, low crime, excellent schools, great leisure facilities, unique wildlife and amazing scenery, whilst still only a short flight away from the UK mainland.
