Walk to Muckle Flugga, Shetland
We took a whole day to spend on Unst, as we needed to get the ferry first to the island of Yell, then from there the ferry to Unst. We drove straight up North and started of at the car park for the Hermaness National Nature Reserve to make our way to see the northernmost part of Britain. I have looked at maps before and noticed a place called ‘Outstack’ and thought to myself: Yeah, I want to go there. Maybe some other time. It is a tiny island and you probably can only get there by boat, but I still got to see it. Outstack is the very last bit of Britain before the North Pole. Of course the walk up there was stunning. We had to take care to not fall off the cliffs but they were absolutely scenic, just as Orkney’s cliffs had been. It took us roughly 2 hours to get up to the view point. Probably my favourite part of our Shetland trip.
There was a gannet colony living along the coast as well, but I put it in a separate post.
