The Point of Fethaland Lighthouse, perched at the northern tip of mainland Shetland, was built in 1977 for the Sullom Voe oil terminal tankers. A six-mile circular walk from Isbister leads to this picturesque spot, passing by the remains of the historic fishing settlement known as The Haaf. The lighthouse stands tall at 7 meters, offering stunning views of the surrounding area and serving as a beacon for ships with its distinctive light character. It's a must-visit for those seeking a scenic adventure in Shetland!
