Description
The uninhabited Isle of Noss is a National Nature Reserve covering more than 300ha of moorland and grassy slopes to the east of the island of Bressay, off the east coast of Mainland, Shetland. Noss is a popular destination for ornithologists as the island holds one of the largest seabird colonies in Europe. The eastern and southern sides of the island are fringed by sandstone cliffs, up to 200m high in places, and the islands slope down to much lower cliffs in the west.

Access
Noss is linked to Bressay by a seasonal ferry service, run by the wildlife wardens using an inflatable boat. The ferry service brings around 1700 visitors to the island each year.
