Map of the Shetland Islands

Ravenswick, the invented scene of much of the action of Raven Black, lies on the coast south from Lerwick (in real life, the area known as Sandwick).

Although the Herring House Gallery in White Nights owes much to the Bonhoga Gallery, Biddista is a long way north west - in the approximate location of Hillswick.

Red Bones is substantially set on the island of Whalsay.

And the final volume of the Quartet, Blue Lightning, returns Jimmy Perez to his native Fair Isle.


We are grateful to Shetlopedia for permission to use their map of Shetland as a basis for this map.
