What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Shetland Islands?

"When visiting the Shetland Islands, it's important to respect the local culture and traditions. Avoid referring to the Shetland Islands as being in the "north of Scotland" as locals consider Shetland to be separate and distinct from mainland Scotland. Don't assume that everyone speaks with a Scottish accent. The Shetland dialect is unique and influenced by Norse and Scottish Gaelic. Avoid making jokes about Shetland ponies or Shetland sheepdogs. These animals are a source of pride for the locals and are taken very seriously. Don't refer to the islands as the "Shetlands." The correct term is "Shetland" or "the Shetland Islands." Avoid littering or disrespecting the natural environment. The Shetland Islands are known for their stunning landscapes and wildlife, and locals take conservation very seriously. Don't forget to respect the local customs and traditions. This includes observing local holidays, such as Up Helly Aa, a fire festival held in winter. Avoid being loud or disruptive, especially in public places. Shetlanders are known for their reserved and polite demeanor. Don't assume that Shetland is just like the rest of Scotland. The islands have a unique culture and history that is distinct from the mainland. Avoid being dismissive of local folklore and legends. Stories of selkies, trows, and other mythical creatures are an important part of Shetland's cultural heritage. Don't forget to say "please" and "thank you." Good manners are highly valued in Shetland," remarked another expat who made the move to Shetland Islands, Scotland.
