Sandness

Tiny settlement at the end of the A971, looking across to Papa Stour and nearby islets.

Sandness is the small settlement at the end of the A971 west of Walls. The draw is the position: open views toward Papa Stour, a ragged coast, and nearby islets with prehistoric remains.

It is a quiet end-of-road place rather than a formal attraction, but it helps make a good west Mainland circuit.
