Trei Geo is a prominent coastal feature located on the Shetland Islands, an archipelago situated off the northeastern coast of Scotland. Specifically, Trei Geo is a headland that juts out into the sea, forming a distinctive point along the rugged coastline.

This coastal feature is characterized by its towering cliffs, which rise dramatically from the crashing waves below. The cliffs at Trei Geo are composed of rugged, sedimentary rock formations, displaying layers that have been shaped and eroded by the relentless forces of wind and water over millions of years.

The headland offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding area, with its elevated position providing visitors with a vantage point to observe the vast expanse of the North Atlantic Ocean. On clear days, it is possible to see neighboring islands, such as Yell and Unst, as well as the distant mainland of Scotland.

Trei Geo is also known for its rich wildlife. The coastal waters surrounding the headland are home to a diverse range of marine species, including seals, dolphins, and various seabirds. The cliffs themselves provide nesting sites for a multitude of seabirds, such as puffins, guillemots, and fulmars, making it a popular spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

Due to its remote location and rugged beauty, Trei Geo attracts both locals and tourists alike, who visit to experience the raw power of nature and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the Shetland Islands' coastal landscape.

Bus Stop on the B9122 near Rerwick The B9122 is a narrow, mostly single-track road with passing places. It provides a pleasant diversion from the A970 near Channerwick, travelling to the western (Atlantic) coast at Bigton and then Scousburgh before turning east again to rejoin the A970 at Boddam.
