About Herma Ness
Herma Ness is a natural site. Location: Shetland Islands, Scotland.
Hermaness (Shaetlan pronunciation: [ˈhɛrməˌnɛs] HER-mə-NESS) is the northernmost headland of Unst, the most northerly inhabited island of Shetland, Scotland. It consists of huge sea cliffs and moorland, making it an ideal habitat for a variety of birds. Hermaness was designated a national nature reserve (NNR) in 1955. The NNR extends over 965 hectares, including the whole of the Hermaness peninsula and the outlying Muckle Flugga and Out Stack.
