Built in 1904 by the Episcopalian Church as a convent, Glen Orchy House was known as the “House of Charity” until the 1920's, when it became the Rectory to St Magnus Church in Lerwick. Then in 1969 the property was sold into private ownership. Since then the house has been sympathetically renovated and extended in keeping with the original style, whilst providing every modern comfort for the discerning guest. Positioned, as Glen Orchy is, on the south side of Lerwick over looking the Knab and 9 hole golf course, free to the public, the hotel is ideal for birdwatchers, photographers, artists and walkers alike, yet still very close to the town centre for business or browsing.

Situated only a five minute walk from the centre of Lerwick in Shetland, Glen Orchy House is placed perfectly to benefit from excellent local and tourist, repeat business trade through out the whole year. The owners have many lucrative contracts with the Police, Fire Brigade and many national companies with operations in Shetland.

Lerwick is the main town of the Shetland Islands which are located north of Mainland Scotland. The islands are reached by daily flights from Aberdeen, Inverness, Glasgow, Birmingham, Orkney and London to Shetland. Ferry services run to Shetland from Aberdeen, Torshaven (Faeroes) and Hantsholm (Denmark).
