About Northpunds

Northpunds perches near Shetland's southern tip, minutes from Sumburgh Airport via the A970. This remote Atlantic outpost experiences dramatic seasonal extremes, from winter's fierce gales to summer's endless twilight. The settlement connects to neighboring communities like Levenwick and Channerwick through short local routes, whilst longer journeys reach Lerwick 100 kilometers north. One fast charger serves the area's growing EV needs. The nearby Sumburgh Head lighthouse overlooks clifftop colonies where thousands of puffins nest each summer.
