About this spot
The Westerwick Cliffs are a series of towering red sandstone cliffs located on the west coast of Mainland Shetland, Scotland. The Westerwick Cliffs are thought to have been formed over 400 million years ago. The cliffs are made up of red sandstone, which was deposited by a river delta. The cliffs have been eroded by the sea over time, creating the dramatic landscape that we see today.
Apart from sheep, you will probably not meet any other human soul. Just breathtaking.
The main viewpoint is located at the first bay from the car park. Nature has perfectly arranged several sea stacks here for a nice composition. If you walk further up the cliffs, you can find more sea stacks, bays, and breathtaking views along the coastline.
