Send flowers to Wester Skeld, Shetland Islands

Flower Delivery to Wester Skeld with Clare Florist

Off the coast of the United Kingdom mainland lies the Shetland Islands. Here you can find several seafaring villages including Wester Skeld and Easter Skeld. Easter skeld is the main village, but to the west is a sub-community known as Wester Skeld. The community lies in the middle in the on the coastal areas of the west side of the Shetland islands.

You can tell the Norse and northern Europe influences just by taking a look at the name. Skeld is taken from the Norweigian word Skjolðr which means Shield or Shelter in old Norse. Not very surprising since the entire Shetland island system is to the northeast of even Scotland.

Although there isn't a large amount of foliage, you can still find some plant life in the region. For the most part, you are looking at a lot of wide roaming grassland. However, you can occasionally bump into flowers in Wester Skeld as well.

Most common to the Shetland islands include primrose, cuckooflower, spring squill, and common dog-violet in the springtime; heath spotted orchid, sea campion, thrift, and Shetland mouse-ear in the summertime; and gorse, fungi, lichens, and several different types of moss in the fall.

Wester Skeld may be a small and out of the way town, but that usually means that you can find some great rural sightseeing opportunities. The Shetland Walking and Wildlife company offers walking and wildlife trips that lead through the Wester Skeld area. You might be able to find flowers in Wester Skeld while you're on one of those nature trips.
