Climnie is a small island located in the Shetland archipelago, off the north coast of Scotland. The island covers an area of approximately 0.3 square kilometers and is home to a small population of around 20 residents.

Climnie is characterized by its rugged coastline, with steep cliffs and rocky shores that provide habitat for a variety of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills. The island's landscape is also dotted with grassy fields and heather-covered moorland, creating a picturesque backdrop for visitors.

The main settlement on Climnie consists of a cluster of traditional stone cottages, some of which have been converted into holiday rentals for tourists looking to experience the island's remote and peaceful atmosphere. There are no shops or amenities on Climnie, so visitors are advised to bring supplies with them when visiting.

Access to Climnie is by boat, with ferries running regularly from the nearby town of Lerwick on the mainland. The island offers a unique opportunity to experience the natural beauty and tranquility of the Shetland Islands, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
