Sumburgh Head is a dramatic headland featuring a historic lighthouse and seabird observatory. It has been guiding ships safely since 1821 and has strong links to Shetland’s maritime heritage.

Hike the coastal trails, enjoy breathtaking views over cliffs and the sea, and see large colonies of puffins, gannets, and other seabirds. The lighthouse visitor centre offers interactive displays on maritime history and wildlife.

You can learn all about Sumburgh Head and the visitor centre on the Sumburgh Head website.
