About this spot
Sumburgh Head is a dramatic headland located on the southern tip of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. It is known for its towering cliffs, rugged coastline, and abundant wildlife. Sumburgh Head is also home to the Sumburgh Head Lighthouse, which has been guiding ships safely through the treacherous waters of the North Sea for over 200 years.
You can also spot puffins at the right time of the year (April to August).
The Sumburgh Head Cliffs are some of the highest cliffs in Britain. You can take a walk along the cliffs and enjoy the spectacular views of the North Sea and the lighthouse. There are also many stonewalls and stiles you can place in the foreground.
