About Westing

Westing perches on Unst in the Shetlands, Britain's northernmost inhabited outpost where Atlantic winds sculpt dramatic moorland. Getting here means ferries from Yell via the B9081, then local roads north from Belmont. Most visitors combine it with longer Shetland tours, though some make day trips across Unst for the coastal walks and archaeology. About 4 EV charging points serve the area. The settlement sits minutes from Hermaness Reserve, home to Britain's largest gannet colony.
