Killer whales are anybody's guess, as you say, they can turn up anywhere. Quam B+B on Yell is a good base for getting around most of the islands, being one ferry ride from each of Fetlar, Unst and Mainland. Most places are pretty good for wildlife, so you won't go too far wrong wherever you are based. I would recommend moving between a few places while you are there, we normally stay on Fetlar, Unst and south mainland, but Yell is best if you want just one base throughout. Roads are normally very good and it normally takes us 2-3 hours from north Unst to south Mainland, depending on ferry times. Hope that helps.
