Ordale

Scotland

Ordale lies on Unst, Scotland's northernmost inhabited island, reached by two ferry crossings from the Shetland mainland. The settlement sits 2km from Baltasound in an oceanic climate where Atlantic winds keep temperatures mild but persistent. Local routes connect nearby villages within 10km, whilst the journey from Sumburgh Airport takes 3 hours via ferries. The area neighbours Hermaness Nature Reserve, home to Britain's largest gannet colony and Muckle Flugga lighthouse.
