About West Heogaland

West Heogaland occupies a remote corner of Shetland's Northmavine peninsula, reached via the A970 north from Lerwick then the B9078 westward across the moorland. The hour-plus drive from Shetland's main town passes through increasingly wild terrain of peat bog and scattered lochs, with nearby settlements like Tangwick and Hillswick connected by short coastal routes. The area offers spectacular views toward Dore Holm, a distinctive sea stack that resembles a drinking horse from certain shoreline vantage points.
