<span class="mw-page-title-main">Skarfskerry</span> Human settlement in Scotland

Skarfskerry is a settlement located in the far northern county Caithness on a small peninsula northeast of Thurso off the A836 in Scotland. It is the most northerly settlement in Great Britain. The name comes from the Old Norse for "cormorants' rock". Historically, it belonged to the Parish of Dunnet, along with Brough.

The geography of the North Sea studies coastal and submarine features as well as the people who live on its coasts. It is bounded by the east coasts of England and Scotland to the west and the northern and central European mainland to the east and south, including Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. In the south-west, beyond the Straits of Dover, the North Sea becomes the English Channel. In the east, it connects to the Baltic Sea via the Skagerrak and Kattegat, narrow straits that separate Denmark from Norway and Sweden respectively. In the north, it opens in a widening funnel shape to the Norwegian Sea, which lies in the very north-eastern part of the Atlantic.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Isbister Holm</span> Islet in the Shetland Islands

Isbister Holm is a small islet in the Shetland islands of Scotland, situated roughly 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) east off the coast of Isbister, Whalsay. The highest point of the islet is about 65 feet (20 m) and it measures roughly 500 metres (1,600 ft) by 250 metres (820 ft). To the north are the islets of Mooa and Nista. On 12 November 1778 Jufron Ingester was shipwrecked, probably on the holm, the precise location not being certain. It was carrying some 260 tons of skins, tallow and coarse hose from Ireland to Copenhagen. One crew member died and the cargo was not salvaged.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nista</span>

Nista is a small islet of the Shetland Islands of Scotland, situated roughly 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) east off the coast of Whalsay. It lies to the north of Mooa.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Mooa</span> Small islet of the Shetland Islands of Scotland

Mooa is a small islet of the Shetland Islands of Scotland, situated roughly 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) east off the coast of Whalsay. It lies to the north of Isbister Holm and south of Nista. The highest point of the islet is 63 feet (19 m).

The Inner Holm of Skaw is a small, uninhabited islet off the northern tip of the island of Whalsay, in the Shetland Islands of Scotland, north of the village of Skaw.

The Outer Holm of Skaw is a small, uninhabited islet, a rock outlier off the northeast coast of the island of Whalsay, in the Shetland Islands of Scotland.

The Holm of Skaw is a small islet off the northeast coast of the island of Unst. It is just northeast of the settlement of Skaw. The island is 57 feet (17 m) in height. There is a lighthouse on the island. Tidal currents are slack between Holm of Skaw and Herma Ness at high water, and the passage may be made by small boats. The Skaw Röst, a dangerous tidal race, forms off the shore of the Holm of Skaw and Lamba Ness.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Skate of Marrister</span>

The Skate of Marrister is a flat ledge that extends about 300 yards (270 m) from the western shore of Whalsay, in the Shetland islands of Scotland. It is slightly more than 1 mile (1.6 km) north-north-west from Symbister Ness off the village of Marrister, in Linga Sound. At low tide the ledge rises 5 feet (1.5 m) above the water. There is a risk that the strong tide in Whalsay Sound will carry a boat onto the Skate. There is a minor light on the Skate with a nominal range of four miles, flashing green every six seconds.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rumble, Shetland</span>

Rumble is a skerry in the Shetland islands of Scotland, situated roughly 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east off the coast of Huxter, southeastern Whalsay. It lies 0.75 miles (1.21 km) to southwest of East Linga. The main island, also known as Rumble Holm, is 27 feet (8.2 m) high. Nearby and to the north are the Flaeshans of Rumble, a series of small islets and stacks and Burlastack of Rumble lies to the east. On the northern side of the main island is an inlet, known as the Voe of Rumble. Lobsters and prawns are said to shelter here. It is also mentioned that a ship named Griften of unknown nationality was shipwrecked either here or on the Holm of Sandwick in 1611.
