We live in Shetland!

It's all in the details: Shetlanders live in (not on) Shetland, which is an archipelago made up of the Shetland Islands. It is NOT "the Shetlands". There is no such place. It is very grating on Shetlanders to hear their place referred to as "the Shetlands".

"The Shetlands" is, if anything, a shorthand used by some to refer to the native Shetland breed of kye (cattle), sheep or horse (also called Shetland ponies or Shelties). And while we are into details: the cattle, sheep or ponies are not Viking imports. Archaeological evidence shows that the Shetland kye and sheep were brought here by the Neolithic farmers, no later than 3600BCE, and the Shelties no later than the Bronze Age about 2000BCE. So they were here some 3-4000 years earlier than the Vikings, but there was probably some interbreeding with livestock brought by the Norse settlers.
