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. Some expats may choose to live in more modern apartments in the town of Lerwick, which offer similar amenities but in a more urban setting. Regardless of the type of home, most expats in the Shetland Islands enjoy a peaceful, rural lifestyle with easy access to outdoor activities," commented one expat who made the move to Shetland Islands, Scotland.
