Easter Heog is a prominent hill located in the rugged and scenic landscape of Shetland, an archipelago in Scotland. Situated on the island of Mainland, the hill is known for its striking appearance and commanding views of the surrounding area.

Rising to an elevation of approximately 150 meters (500 feet), Easter Heog is characterized by its steep slopes, rocky terrain, and heather-covered vegetation. Its distinctive shape and position make it a prominent landmark in the region, visible from various vantage points across the island.

The hill offers visitors and locals alike an opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and hillwalking. Its relatively moderate height and accessible slopes make it a popular choice for those seeking a challenging yet manageable climb. From the summit, on a clear day, one can appreciate breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, coastlines, and neighboring islands.

Easter Heog is also known for its rich biodiversity, with a variety of plant and animal species inhabiting its slopes. The hill is home to numerous bird species, including the iconic puffin, as well as various wildflowers and mosses that add to its natural beauty.

Visiting Easter Heog provides a unique opportunity to explore Shetland's stunning countryside, appreciate its diverse wildlife, and soak in the tranquility of this remote and picturesque location.
