About this spot
Eshaness is a stunning headland located on the Northmavine peninsula in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. It is known for its dramatic cliffs, rugged coastline, and iconic lighthouse.

The Eshaness cliffs have been shaped by millions of years of erosion. The cliffs are made up of a variety of rocks, including gneiss, schist, and quartzite.
The lighthouse at Eshaness was built in 1929. It is a whitewashed tower that stands 12 meters tall. The lighthouse is now automated and is no longer staffed.
Attention - there is nothing but cliffs. No toilet, no EV charger, no cafe (the next cafe with toilet is 15 mins drive and the next rapid charger 20 mins; there is also no petrol station if you are wondering...)
