Shetland feels less like the end of Britain and more like the beginning of somewhere else. Shaped by its Norse heritage, this island archipelago offers rugged coastlines, deserted beaches and working crofts. Autumn is the perfect time to visit to spot otters along the shoreline, watch migratory birds and glimpse the Northern Lights.

One lucky reader will win an unforgettable autumn break for two. The prize includes a two-night stay at the historic Busta House Hotel, an authentic croft tour at West Lynne Croft, a guided tour of the spectacular Unst Sky Trail with Wild Skies Shetland, and a half-day private tour with James Tait of Island Trails. Come for the wild beauty and stay for a place unlike anywhere else in the UK.
