Ness of Hillswick, North Mainland Shetland

Shetland day 15
Morning

A walk around the Ness of Hillswick, A roughly diamond shaped peninsula, reaching south from the village of Hillswick. Views of the Drongs sea stacks and towards the cliffs of Eshness peninsula.

The name the Drongs comes from the Old Norse drangr, which means "free standing pillar of rock". Drangr is synonymous with the Old Norse word stakkr, which subsequently became the word stack that is used in the names of many sea stacks in Shetland.
