Burrafirth
Burrafirth occupies Unst, the Shetlands' northernmost inhabited island, where Atlantic gales and dramatic seasonal light shifts define daily life. Getting there means a proper expedition: drive north from Lerwick on the A970, then ferry-hop via Yell to reach Unst's A968, which runs through Baltasound to the Burrafirth area. About 2 EV charging points serve the vicinity, though careful planning's essential this far north. The settlement sits minutes from Hermaness Reserve, where you can walk to Britain's northernmost point and watch thousands of gannets on the clifftops.
