Hillswick Wildlife Sanctuary rescues and rehabilitates seals and otters in and around Shetland so they can be released back into the wild. We also help coordinate the rescue of stranded cetaceans. We accept visitors by arrangement when we have seals in residence. Entry is free, though we accept donations.

A dark-furred seal peeks out of the water, tangled in strands of seaweed. A loop of seaweed rests on its head like a crown.
A brown otter with a white muzzle walks through the snow, its fur thick and slightly damp. Green grass peeks through the snowy ground.
