Vidlin (from Old Norse: Vaðill meaning a ford) is a small village located on Mainland, Shetland, Scotland. The settlement is within the parish of Nesting.
History
It is at the head of Vidlin Voe, and is the modern heart of the old parish of Lunnasting, which centred on the early church at Lunna on Lunna Ness.
The Lunnasting stone, which bears an undeciphered Pictish ogham inscription was found nearby and donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland in 1876.
