About Lunning

Lunning is a small coastal settlement on Shetland's Mainland, reached via the A970 from Lerwick then the B9071 eastward - about 40 minutes' drive through moorland. It sits opposite Whalsay island and serves the local ferry route, with dramatic North Sea views and typical Shetland maritime weather.
