Unst

Unst is the most northerly of the islands of Shetland. The lighthouse on Muckle Flugga faces the Atlantic Ocean from its exposed location. Hermaness is a Nature Reserve with many Puffins, Great Skuas and Gannets. Most of the interior is rugged, but there are also several fine beaches. There are large areas of serpentine rocks, and outcrops of steatite and chromite.
