Destination
guide
The
peace, tranquillity and shear drama of the landscape makes Foula unique. Take
time to discover the island that is considered the most remote of the British
Isles.
The most westerly of the Shetland Islands, Foula is around 20 miles from
Walls on the Shetland mainland.
The profile of the island is remarkable, especially if you approach by
sea. The high hills, particularly the Sneug at 1,370 ft and dramatic cliffs,
including the second highest in Britain, the Kame at 1,200 ft high, are
astounding.
On reaching land, Foula is fascinating. As you might expect, it is home
to large seabird colonies including the largest colony of Great Skuas in
Britain. Further inland, the island offers the perfect habitat for eider ducks,
red-throated divers and waders.
The rock formations and coastal erosion has created some dramatic
features. To the west is the Sneck o' da Smallie, a deep sheer sided rock fault
that is around 100 feet deep, while Gaada Stack off the north coast of the
island, is an outstanding natural arch towering 130 feet high.
