 | | 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. |
 | | The first sight of the islands, whether by sea or air, is equally spectacular, entering the narrow harbour entrance with its imposing stacks or flying in over the scattered islands dominated by the lighthouse on Bound Skerry. |
 | | 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. |
