The island of Noss is one of Shetland’s National Nature Reserves and a place of extraordinary natural importance.
It is home to internationally significant populations of breeding seabirds. Perhaps best known for the Gannet colonies nesting on the towering cliffs of Da Noup, the summer months also bring Guillemots, Puffins, and Fulmars. There’s a good chance of spotting marine mammals too, including otters, seals, and porpoises.
As well as welcoming wildlife, Noss offers a unique opportunity to work as a ranger, with two people employed each summer to live on the island and monitor its flora and fauna.
