No alarm installer listed in Tingwall yet.

An alarm installer fits, services and monitors home and business security systems - intruder alarms, CCTV cameras, access control and smoke or flood detectors.

Wireless systems are easier to retrofit and don't require chasing into walls; wired systems are more reliable for larger properties or those expecting heavy use.

Insurers often want a NACOSS or SSAIB-approved installer for monitored systems if you want a discount on your home or commercial cover, so ask before commissioning the work.

Tingwall is a fertile valley in central Mainland Shetland, a few miles north-west of Lerwick, whose name derives from the Old Norse ‘Thingvollr’ - the field of the parliament.

The Tingwall Loch was the site of the Althing, the Norse parliament of Shetland, held on a small promontory in the loch from around the 9th to the 16th century - one of the most important Norse assembly sites in Scotland.

Tingwall is home to Shetland’s small airstrip, which operates inter-island flights to Fair Isle, Foula, Out Skerries and Papa Stour, providing essential connections to some of the most remote communities in Britain.

The valley is one of the most sheltered and productive agricultural areas in Shetland, with good grazing land and a community that includes the agricultural showground used for the main Shetland County Show.

Shetland is an archipelago of around 100 islands - 16 of them inhabited - lying roughly 110 miles north of the Scottish mainland and 210 miles west of Norway, making it the most northerly part of the United Kingdom.

Lerwick is the capital and only town of any size, a compact and characterful harbour settlement that serves as the administrative, commercial and cultural centre of the islands. Around 7,000 of Shetland’s 23,000 residents live in and around the town.

Shetland’s economy has been shaped by the sea for centuries: fishing remains a major industry and the arrival of North Sea oil at the Sullom Voe terminal in the 1970s brought prosperity that was carefully managed through a charitable trust that continues to fund services and infrastructure across the islands.

The landscape is treeless, wind-scoured and dramatic - sea cliffs, voes (narrow inlets), tombolo beaches and open moorland define the character of the islands and nowhere in Shetland is more than three miles from the sea.

Shetland has a distinct cultural identity that draws on both Scottish and Norse heritage - the annual Up Helly Aa fire festival, the Shetland dialect and the fiddle music tradition are central to island life and the sense of community across the islands is strong and self-reliant.
