Out Skerries

The Out Skerries are a group of small islands in Shetland, lying to the east of the main Shetland group. The Out Skerries lie about four miles northeast of Whalsay, 200 miles from Norway. The main islands are Housay, Bruray and Grunay.

A large number of islets and stacks surround the main group. These include the Hevda Skerries and Wether Holm to the north, the Holm to the south and Lamba Stack and Flat Lamba Stack to the east. Stoura Stack and the Hogg are to the south of Grunay. Bound Skerry, which has a lighthouse, is flanked by Little Bound Skerry and Horn Skerry. (Read more)
