About Great Danes
Despite the name, the Great Dane's origins lie in Germany, where its ancestors hunted wild boar in packs. The Royal Kennel Club calls it a "muscular and elegant descendant of boar hunters" and says the hunting instinct is still there.

Are there Great Dane puppies for sale in Shetland Islands?

Can I get a free Great Dane to a good home in Shetland Islands, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Fees are set by each rescue: the profiles on Kingston upon Hull's Great Danes page show them.
