πŸ“Œ Burravoe, Isle of Yell, Shetland Isles
β˜…β˜…β˜…

Perhaps the best walk on the Isle of Yell, this route explores Heoga Ness: the low-lying headland protecting Burravoe Marina from southerly gales. Beyond the ness, cliffs grow in stature and the circuit gradually builds to a climax at Ladies Hole: a crescent cove home to seabirds including puffins and black guillemots during late spring and early summer.
