Lower Haggi Geo is a coastal feature located in the Shetland Islands, specifically on the mainland of Shetland. It is classified as a headland or point, jutting out into the North Sea.

Lower Haggi Geo is situated on the west coast of Shetland, near the village of Walls. It is characterized by its rugged and rocky terrain, with steep cliffs that rise up from the sea. The headland offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and the vast expanse of the North Sea.

The geological formation of Lower Haggi Geo is predominantly composed of sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and shale, which have been shaped over millions of years by the relentless force of the ocean waves. These rocks exhibit various layers and textures, providing a glimpse into the geological history of the area.

The headland is also known for its diverse wildlife and bird colonies. Visitors to Lower Haggi Geo may catch a glimpse of seabirds such as puffins, fulmars, and kittiwakes nesting in the cliffs. The surrounding waters are home to a variety of marine animals, including seals and porpoises, which can occasionally be spotted from the headland.

Access to Lower Haggi Geo is relatively easy, with a footpath leading from the nearby village of Walls. However, caution should be exercised, as the cliffs can be treacherous and unstable. Visitors are advised to stay on designated paths and to be mindful of their surroundings.
