In addition to the Bradt guide, do you know of any specific resources for hiking? Partly because I have very little sense of location, I really need almost step-by-step trail guidance, including just to find the trailhead, and I like to know in advance how difficult the trail is likely to be.
Most of my actual hiking was done with VisitFaroeIslands.com hiking guide (download from their website):

(You can also email them and they'll mail a copy to you, or buy one there for 15 DKK)
Most of the hikes there have a distinctly informal nature to them. Since there are no trees, many of the hikes are "Start here. See that hill? Walk up it by whatever means seem most expedient". Which means a lot of walking across sheep pastures...
