Yell is the largest of the Northern Isles and is part of the Shetland Islands.
During the summer the coastline of Yell is also alive with breeding birds such as whimbrel and golden plover. The landscape inland is one of blanket peat bog dotted with crofting settlements.
Unst and Yell hold great appeal for geologists, botanists and birdwatchers.
