Built for Shetland.
Just getting started.
Already live and ready to be used
OneShetland is a new way for everything in Shetland to live in one place.
You can already find events, jobs, services and local notices and post your own in minutes.
But this is just the beginning. I’m building tools to help Shetland stay connected, support local businesses, and keep our culture alive.
Being built now
- Community hubs for halls, clubs and groups
- A marketplace for local sellers
- Spik — keeping Shetland dialect alive
- Cruise insights to support local trade
- Local reporting and event coverage

Spik is OneShetland’s living dictionary of Shetland words. It is built to collect, preserve and share the dialect in a way that is easy to explore, whether you grew up with it or are just discovering it.
Shetland words carry history, identity and meaning that is often lost elsewhere. Spik brings those words together in one place, showing what they mean, how they are used, and how they are spoken across the islands.
This is a collaborative project. Some entries will evolve over time, and that is intentional. The goal is to build something accurate, useful and owned by the community, not just a fixed dictionary.
If you know a word, use a word, or see something that could be improved, you can help shape Spik. Every suggestion helps strengthen the dialect for the next generation.
What you can help with
- Correct a meaning
- Add a missing word
- Suggest another spelling
- Improve pronunciation
- Share a real example sentence
Play Spik - Guess da wird
Spik - Guess da wird is a daily word game built from the Spik dictionary. It gives people a simple, enjoyable way to test their knowledge of Shetland words, learn new ones, and keep coming back each day.
Every puzzle is based on a real Shetland word. That means Spik - Guess da wird is not just a game — it is also a practical way to build familiarity with the dialect over time, whether you grew up hearing these words or are only just discovering them.
If you create an account, you can track your progress, build streaks, improve your win rate, and see how your Shetland dialect knowledge develops over time.

Shetland has always been built on community, but information is often scattered across different places. OneShetland brings it all together so you can stay informed, get involved and support what’s happening locally.
Whether you live here, are visiting, or have a connection to the islands, this is a simple way to stay connected to Shetland life.
Get Involved
If you’re organising an event, offering a service, hiring locally or sharing something with the community, you can add it to OneShetland and reach people across the islands.
