Noss National Nature Reserve
Nature Centres & Reserves
Overview
A dramatic island with soaring cliffs, Noss is home to an amazing array of nesting seabirds. In spring and summer, gannets, guillemots, fulmars and kittiwakes seem to occupy every available nook and cranny on the cliffs while marauding great skuas nest further inland. A coastal path meanders through colourful patches of flower-filled grassland.
Best Time To Visit: Mid May to mid July for breeding seabirds. Seals, otters, flowers until end of August.
Facilities: Visitor centre, toilets. Walk around island takes about three hours over moderate ground that can sometimes be very steep. Sturdy footwear and waterproof clothing required.
Further Information: SNH, Ground Floor, Stewart Building, Alexandra Wharf, Lerwick, Shetland ZE1 0LL. Tel: 01595 693345.
