About Dog Groomers
A dog groomer washes, clips, and styles dogs - from a basic bath and brush to breed-specific cuts, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and de-matting.
A good local groomer knows how to handle nervous dogs, keeps a calm environment, and builds a relationship with your pet over time.
Check that they have relevant qualifications or City & Guilds certification, and ask to see the grooming area before booking your first appointment.
About Hillswick
Hillswick is a small village on the Northmavine peninsula in the far north-west of Mainland Shetland, set on a sheltered bay with views across St Magnus Bay.
The village is one of the oldest fishing stations in Shetland, and the St Magnus Bay Hotel is a notable local landmark that has served visitors and locals since the 19th century.
Northmavine is one of the wildest and most dramatic parts of Shetland — the cliffs at Eshaness, the volcanic rock formations of the Drongs, and the headland of Fethaland are all within reach of Hillswick.
Hillswick has a community hall, a wildlife sanctuary run by the local community, and the kind of remote, tight-knit character that defines the smaller settlements of the far north.
About Shetland
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.
