About this spot
Nestled on a clifftop overlooking the North Sea, Bressay Lighthouse is one of the most iconic landmarks in the Shetland Islands. With its dramatic setting and striking architecture, it's no wonder that this lighthouse is a popular destination for landscape photographers.
Bressay Lighthouse is located on the northeast tip of Bressay, a small island just a short ferry ride from Lerwick, the capital of Shetland. The lighthouse was built in 1855 to guide ships through the treacherous waters of Bressay Sound.
Bressay Island is the largest of the Shetland Islands and is home to a population of around 400 people. The island is known for its rugged coastline, rolling hills, and picturesque villages.
