What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Shetland Islands?
"A typical expat home or apartment in the Shetland Islands, is often a traditional stone-built house, reflecting the local architecture. These homes are usually detached or semi-detached, with a small garden or yard. The interiors are often modern and well-insulated to protect against the harsh weather conditions. The homes usually have a cozy living room with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, and one to three bedrooms. Many homes also have stunning views of the surrounding landscapes, including the sea, hills, or local wildlife.
