Toft
ShetlandA ferry terminal on Mainland Shetland, Toft is situated 27 miles (43.5 km) north of Lerwick. It has a car ferry link with Ulsta at the southern end of the island of Yell. In the late 1970s, a camp was built a quarter-mile (0.5 km) southwest of the ferry pier to accommodate around 2000 workers involved in the construction of the Sullom Voe Oil Terminal.
