Conni Geo, located in the Shetland Islands, is a coastal feature known for its stunning natural beauty and unique geological formations. It is classified as a headland or point, protruding out into the North Sea.

With its rugged cliffs and rocky shoreline, Conni Geo offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The headland is characterized by its steep and jagged cliffs, which rise dramatically from the sea, creating a striking visual contrast against the deep blue waters. The cliffs are composed of layers of sedimentary rock, showcasing millions of years of geological history.

Conni Geo is also home to a diverse range of fauna and flora. The headland provides a habitat for various seabird species, including puffins, fulmars, and kittiwakes, which nest in the cliffs. The surrounding waters are teeming with marine life, and it is not uncommon to spot seals, dolphins, and even whales swimming offshore.

The area surrounding Conni Geo is rich in cultural heritage as well. It is believed that the headland has been inhabited for thousands of years, with evidence of ancient settlements and archaeological sites nearby. The local community takes great pride in preserving and promoting the area's historical and cultural significance.

Conni Geo is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers, who are drawn to its dramatic landscapes and unique geological features. Its remote location and untouched beauty make it a must-visit coastal feature for anyone exploring the Shetland Islands.

Looking from near the summit of Ward of Clett across to the uninhabited islet of East Linga in the distance.
The summit of Ward of Clett, Whalsay Well, this is what everyone would think is the summit. But the purists maintain that the true highest point is a little way to the north-east, at HU55046148.

Loch of Huxter, Whalsay One of four lochs on Whalsay of similar size. I would estimate that this is the largest.

The valley of the Falsa Burn Looking out to sea from near Huxter. I suspect that, had the weather not been so dry for the last month, this ground would be very damp.

Deserted Farmhouse, Treawick The most substantial and most recently occupied house in the abandoned community of Treawick. Other houses are just bare stone walls, but this one appears to have hung on for a lot longer.
