Mainland kan grovt delast i fire:



  • South Mainland er den delen av øya som ligg sørom Hellister (60° 14′N). Øya er her dels dekt av lyngheier og dels er jordbruksland. I dette området er det gjord fleire viktige arkeologiske funn. Lerwick ligg i South Mainland.


  • Central Mainland er den delen av øya som ligg mellom Hellister, Aith og Voe. Her er det jordbruksland og noko skog.


  • West Mainland er den delen av øya som ligg vestom Aith (1° 23′ W).


  • North Mainland er den delen av øya som ligg nordom Voe. Med til North Mainland høyrer den store halvøya Northmavine, som er knytt til resten av Mainland med det smale eidet Mavis Grind. Denne delen av øya har eit vilt landskap med klipper langs kysten og lyngheier i innlandet. På North Mainland ligg Sullom Voe som med oljeterminalen er er ein viktig arbeidsplass for folk på øya.
