	Out Skerries Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		Out Skerries is a group of three main (and many smaller) islands found in the North Sea some 24 miles north east of Lerwick.
		Most of Out Skerries' houses are scattered along the length of the mile of road boasted by the islands.
		Out Skerries' gravel runway is, however, one of the shortest in Shetland, and in some wind conditions the aircraft has to land on Whalsay and ferry passengers three at a time to Out Skerries.

	All about the Area
		Out Skerries, Shetland's most easterly outpost, has a wealth of attractions never to be forgotten - the dramatic scenery, historical interest, outstanding wildlife and, not least, the warm welcome of the Skerries folk.
		A skerry is a rocky island or islet, it is often assumed that the 'Out Skerries' were so named because of the islands' remoteness, but in fact it stems from the Norse word for cast, distinguishing Out Skerries from the likes of the Ve, or west Skerries.
		Economically, socially, spiritually, Out Skerries boasts a community which has always lived for the present and the future.

		Skerries got the break through their play in the closing period of the first half deserved when a minute before the break Beggs beat O'Rourke to a Woodhead free from the right after Moore was fouled by Fitzpatrick.
		Skerries took their foot off the pedal in the last ten minutes and conceded an unnecessary penalty which Dunboyne converted and then they capitalised on some casual defending to score their third.
		Skerries continued to press but were caught on the hop when Davey lost the ball in midfield and Parkvale took advantage and scored from the breakaway.

		But Skerries secondary, which serves the island community of Out Skerries, in Shetland, has not one but two claims to fame: it is the smallest secondary in the country, and it is also the most expensive.
		By the beginning of this year the rumours had developed into a firm proposal, and the 75 islanders began their determined fight to keep the secondary school open: for them, it is a matter of safeguarding their future.
		She and all the other islanders say Skerries is the perfect place to bring up children.

		OUT SKERRIES, lying twenty-four miles north-east of Lerwick, consists of three main islands â“ Housay and Bruray, the east and west isles joined by the present bridge in 1957, and the uninhabited island of Grunay â“ together with many other islets and rocks.

		The directions given guided the driver of the car out of Skerries and onto the road that leads from there to Balbriggan and after a couple of miles onto a back road that seemed to twist and turn every which way and ultimately onto an even narrower road that had no houses whatsoever on it.
		As the car was of the two door variety he had to get out to let the girl out of the back seat which he eventually did as he composed himself a bit.
		As the girl got out she could be seen holding her hands carefully in front of her.

	Skerries 2`s 98 99
		Skerries stuck to their task quite well in the Second half but were on the back foot for long periods.
		The game started with Skerries, starting off where they left off in their previous outings, on the front foot with explosive drives up the middle, however this week people seemed to be hesitant in the final quarter and moves were forced rather than fluid.
		Skerries were disrupted with quite a few changes plus some people might have had their minds on Barry O Reillys stag which was to follow the match.

	Large Beam Trawler on the "Skerries"
		Add to this the angling marks within the area which are protected; the Skerries, the Ray Pits; the Ridd; Prawle Banks; Lannacombe Back; the Catterns (west of Salcombe); and the East and West Rutts; and any fair minded person would agree that recreational sea anglers have benefited enormously (probably without realizing it) from DSFC legislation.
		The whole of the ocean is available for that purpose, so why single out the already damaged "Skerries" banks, which are largely subject to a "No Trawling at Any Time" box and support the dwindling local fleet of charter boats that depend on their proximity and fish for a major proportion of their livelihood.
		The subsequent comments from two commercial sources related to the fact that their pots on the Skerries were not catching after the observed trawling; not that their pots had been towed away, but that the Crabs had allegedly vanished.

	Out Skerries - Dramatic Scenery, Historical Interest, Outstanding Wildlife \| Visit Shetland
		On the map, Out Skerries looks almost too small to be inhabited, yet more than 70 people live on these two square miles (4km2) of rock and pasture.
		The first sight of Out Skerries is spectacular, either from the ferry entering the narrow harbour entrance with its imposing stacks or flying in to the tiny airstrip over scattered islands dominated by the lighthouse.
		Thanks to two excellent natural harbours, Skerries folk make most of their living from the sea, although the small area of cultivated land and grazing land is intensively used.

	FAI Intermediate Cup Draw 2007 - Page 2 - Foot.ie
		Skerries had caused what was termed to have been the upset of the round in their previous round clash as they ousted Wayside Celtic (who famously dumped Finn Harps from the senior cup back in 1997) with a fine 2-1 victory over a side which had been tipped to go quite a distance this year.
		Skerries came out with all guns blazing at the start of the second half and they were back on level terms 13 minutes in when substitute Barry Davey was on hand to tap home at the back post after Roulstone saved a header from Moore.
		Dermot Kelly denied Skerries a way back into the contest soon after when he was alert to divert Martin Beggs’ goalbound effort off the goal-line while Glen Bovaird nearly put the game out of Skerries’ reach, but the butt of the post came to Eamon Byrne’s rescue.
