How to get in Fair Isle
Fair Isle can be reached from Grutness Pier on the southern tip of Shetland by the mail boat Good Shepherd IV, or twice a month in the summer from Lerwick. There is no need for a car. The #6 public transport bus runs a service from Lerwick to the pier to meet the ferry. The ferry costs £3.10 and is paid when you arrive at the ferry. Bookings are absolutely necessary and you will not be allowed to book the ferry unless you have accomodation. Your hosts will pick you up from the ferry and provide all your meals, as there are no buses on the island and only a small shop.
Fair Isle can also be reached by air from Tingwall (a 15 minute taxi ride from Lerwick) in Shetland or in summer on Saturdays from Sumburgh in Shetland. There are no direct services from Orkney or Scotland.
