Moosi Geo is a prominent coastal feature located on the Shetland Islands, off the northeastern coast of Scotland. Situated on the eastern side of the island of Bressay, Moosi Geo is a headland that juts out into the North Sea, forming a distinctive point.

Characterized by its rugged cliffs and rocky terrain, Moosi Geo offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding coastline. The headland is composed of sedimentary rocks, primarily sandstone and shale, which have been sculpted over centuries by the relentless action of the sea.

The cliffs of Moosi Geo reach impressive heights, towering above the crashing waves below. They are home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and fulmars, making it a popular spot for birdwatching. The area also boasts a rich marine life, with seals often seen basking on the nearby rocks.

Access to Moosi Geo can be challenging, as it involves traversing steep and uneven terrain. However, the effort is rewarded with breathtaking scenery and a sense of isolation in this remote corner of the Shetland Islands. The headland is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts, who come to explore the rugged beauty of the area and experience the raw power of the North Sea.

Moosi Geo, with its dramatic cliffs, diverse wildlife, and stunning vistas, is a must-visit location for those seeking an authentic coastal experience in the Shetland Islands.
