Sumburgh
Sumburgh Head is the most southerly point of the Shetland islands. It is famous for its colonies of seabirds: puffins, guillemots, gannets etc.
We only saw a couple of puffins but we had a lot of fun on the beach pretending it was the Carribean!
The main airport is in Sumburgh, and the runway crosses the peninsula from the beach on the east straight across to the west beach. To get to the terminal there is a level crossing just like a railway, except this one is for planes! So you may have to wait, as did I, for the plane to take off before you can drive across the runway.
