"The cost of living in the Shetland Islands, is generally lower than in many other parts of the UK. Housing is relatively affordable, with prices significantly lower than the national average. However, the cost of utilities such as electricity and heating can be higher due to the remote location. Groceries and other everyday items can also be more expensive due to transportation costs. Eating out and entertainment options are limited and can be pricier than in larger cities. Transportation costs can vary. While owning a car can be expensive due to high fuel costs, public transportation is limited and may not be a viable option for everyone. Healthcare is generally free under the National Health Service, but private healthcare options are limited. Overall, while some costs are higher due to the islands' remote location, the lower housing costs can make the Shetland Islands an affordable place to live," commented one expat who made the move to Shetland Islands, Scotland.
