West Head of Papa

Last updated

West Head of Papa is a small tidal island off Papa in Shetland, and is one of the Scalloway Islands. [1] It is 21m at its highest point. [1] East Head of Papa is part (peninsula) of Papa itself, [1] so it is possible that West Head became separated in recent history.
