The A970 which connects Lerwick to Northmavine forms the main street of Brae, a village located at the northern end of Busta Voe, on the narrow isthmus that joins Northmavine to the rest of the island of Mainland. Historically, Brae was a small fishing village but in the 1970s it grew rapidly, largely due to the construction of the nearby Sullom Voe Oil Terminal, merging with the nearby village of Northbrae. Brae's police and fire stations, schools, and NHS clinic service much of the northern part of the Mainland.
