local facilities
We are very proud of our Hoswick Visitor Centre which presents a hugely interesting account of the textile history in this area – and has the most haunting photographs of the Whale Caa. The welcoming staff also serve lovely snacks!
Hoswick is a lovely village with a welcoming heart – a geographical nucleus with a close-knit population including many young families.
It is full of creative people and genuine folk, with strong local ties, who are not just connected to the land and sea but to their own history, culture and future.
shetland art & craft trail
We feature in the 2017/18 Shetland Arts & Crafts Association trail, alongside many wonderful makers and artists from all over the Shetland Islands.
The village overlooks Hoswick Bay - our beach is amazing for beachcombing, seal and wildlife spotting. Take a boat trip to the nearby RSPB protected Mousa Isle – an uninhabited island with a rich history and wonderful wildlife - and climb up the ancient Mousa Broch.
Laurence Odie, also based in Hoswick, has traditional Shetland knitwear at fantastic prices.
