Keen Of Hamar
Nature Centres & Reserves
Overview
The eerie landscape of the Keen of Hamar feels like another planet. But crouch down to the rocky surface and you’ll discover a unique combination of plants clinging to life in the inhospitable conditions. There are rarities like the delicate Edmondston’s chickweed growing here, a beautiful white flower that’s found only on the island of Unst.
Best Time To Visit: Mid May to early July.
Facilities: Small car park with Reserve leaflets. Easy walking ground.
Further Information: SNH, Ground Floor, Stewart Building, Alexandra Wharf, Lerwick, Shetland ZE1 0LL. Tel: 01595 693345.
