Fair Isle, or Fara in Scottish Gaelic, is a small, remote island, located right between the Shetland Mainland and the Orkney Island in northern Scotland.

There is a small airline, a primary school, a shop (which is also a post office), a community hall, a small bar, a few guesthouses, and an airline on the island. However, a large bird observatory is the main attraction of Fair Isle. Since 1954, Fair Isle has been owned by the National Trust for Scotland.
