Destination Highlight: Panoramic North Shetland and Eshaness Cliffs

Arrive at the Tangwick Haa Museum, a 17th-century laird’s house with a diverse collection of artifacts and photographs that provide fascinating insight into the harsh lifestyle of people living in remote areas throughout time. Stop for a tea or coffee in a local venue, and enjoy a unique view of the island and then continue to the Eshaness Lighthouse, where you can spectacular sea stacks, natural arches, deep clefts, and caves around the Atlantic Ocean coastline.
