Yes, the Shetland Isles are to the north east of Scotland, about half
way between Scotland and Norway.
Lot's of knitting books have a chapter about Shetland lace, but there
aren't many just about lace knitting. Sarah Don's "The Art of Shetland
Lace" Bell & Hyman Ltd 1980 is the one that first comes to mind, but
there's also another book which I don't remember the title of but I
borrowed it from The Lace Guild library some years ago.

Shetland wool, Shetland knitting patterns, and Shetland ring shawls
come from the Shetland Islands, home of Shetland ponies, in Great
Britain. Off Scotland, I believe, but possibly off northern England.
