Even in the wind and rain a stunning spot to visit just be careful of the wet cliff sides. Park at the lighthouse and walk north along the cliffs.

Da Grind o da Navir is always a lovely place to visit. It’s dramatic rocky landscape feels so far removed from Shetlands vast hillsides. It’s definitely worth a visit if it’s not too windy as the strong winds can bring huge waves between and over the rocks
