welcome from steve
Welcome to Fair Isle Accommodation. I was born and raised on Fair Isle before travelling the world with my career in the merchant navy, diving ships and fishing industry. I returned to Fair Isle in 2018 to run the family croft, which has been in the Wilson family for many generations. My family ancestors first arrived on Fair Isle circa 1560 and it’s easy to see why they never left. Fair Isle is such a unique and special place with a very friendly island community.
As well as managing my sheep croft, I offer self-catering accommodation at Springfield Cottage (my ancestral home), Fishing Trips and Boat Tours for individuals and groups. I hope you enjoy exploring my website and browsing all the photos and videos of my croft, fishing, cruising and the island.
