No sawmill listed in Mid Yell yet.

A sawmill processes raw logs into seasoned timber, sleepers, beams, cladding and firewood - typically working with locally felled hardwoods like oak, ash and beech alongside softwood from managed forestry.

Kiln-dried timber is moisture-controlled for indoor use; air-dried timber suits external work but takes longer to season - ask which you need before ordering.

Many sawmills also stock kindling, hardwood logs by the cube or sack and bespoke milled lengths for joinery or fencing - call ahead for stock, especially in winter.

Mid Yell is the main village on the island of Yell, the second-largest of the Shetland Islands, lying between Mainland to the south and Unst to the north.

Yell has a population of around 750 people and Mid Yell serves as the main settlement with a secondary school, a health centre, a leisure centre and a small range of shops.

The island is characterised by its vast peat moorland - Yell is one of the largest areas of blanket bog in Europe - and its coastline is rich with otters, seals and seabirds.

Yell is connected by ferry to Mainland at Toft in the south and to Unst at Gutcher in the north, making Mid Yell a natural stopping point on the journey to the most northerly islands.

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.
