Departing Lerwick, we commence our journey towards Northmavine, the northernmost part of the mainland of Shetland. You will cross Mavis Grind, little more than 32 yards wide at its narrowest point, significant not only because it is the gateway to Northmavine but also because it 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.

Pause to have refreshments at the Braewick Café and enjoy its unique views of the famous sea stacks 'the Drongs'. Then rejoin your motorcoach and make your way to the next stop, 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. For scenery and geological forms, few places in Shetland or perhaps even Britain rival Eshaness. The ferocity of the Atlantic has contributed to the spectacular geological formations found here which include sea stacks, natural arches and caves to name but a few and the cliffs are also home to a number of seabirds.

Depart Eshaness and return to the ship at Lerwick.
