Ronas Hill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronas Hill or Rönies Hill HU305835; appears in various spellings) is the highest point of Mainland, Shetland, and the entire Shetland archipelago.[1] It is a Marilyn, at 450m high.
Ronas Hill is on the Northmavine peninsula, and looks over Yell Sound, and across to the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the North Sea. Much of Shetland can be seen from here on a clear day, even the higher points of Fair Isle [1]
On top of the hill, there is a chambered cairn.[2][3]
The hill is also a Ramsar site, and contains many rare Arctic plants.[4]
