Situated on Shetland’s South Mainland in the coastal area of Fladdabister & Ocraquoy. A five minute road walk takes you into the small village of Cunningsburgh where you will find a shop; village hall serving Sunday Teas (Summer months); knitwear shops; and a marina and small boat harbour.

Five miles further South takes you to the village of Sandwick which offers a shop, Post Office & bakery; hotel; visitor centre; modern swimming pool and playground; and ferry transport across to the island of “Mousa” with it’s amazing ancient Broch.
