Shetland
Pony breed's homeland
Shetland refers to an archipelago of islands north of mainland Scotland, and by extension to things originating there.
A Shetland pony is a small, sturdy breed developed in these islands.
Shetland wool comes from sheep raised there, known for its fine, soft texture.
A Shetland sweater is knitted from this wool, often in traditional Fair Isle patterns.
