Weinnia Ness is a prominent coastal feature located on the northeastern coast of the Shetland Islands, which are part of Scotland. It is characterized as a headland or point that juts out into the North Sea. With its stunning cliffs and rugged terrain, Weinnia Ness offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The headland is situated in close proximity to the village of Weisdale, making it easily accessible for visitors. It is known for its picturesque scenery, as well as its rich biodiversity. The area is home to a variety of seabirds, such as fulmars and kittiwakes, which nest on the cliffs. Birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts flock to Weinnia Ness to observe these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat.

In addition to its natural beauty, Weinnia Ness also holds historical significance.
