Journey towards Northmavine, the northernmost part of the mainland of Shetland crossing Mavis Grind said to be the only place in the UK where you can toss a stone across land from the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. Start with a tour of the Tangwick Haa Museum; a 17th century laird's house, built for the Cheyne family. It houses a fascinating collection of artefacts, which give a good insight into the harsh lifestyle of people living in remote areas at that period of time. Pause for a refreshment at the Braewick Café and then continue to Eshaness Lighthouse, built in 1929 by David & Charles Stevenson, uncles of Robert Louis Stevenson, the last of the Stevenson lighthouses to be built in Shetland. Here you can take part in a short optional walk along the cliff top. Depart Eshaness and return to the ship at Lerwick.

Special Notes:

This excursion involves optional walking over uneven surfaces. Not recommended for guests with limited mobility.

Bring local currency or credit cards for additional purchases. Wear comfortable walking shoes and clothing suited to the day's conditions.
