Sandness
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Sandnes.
Sandness is a headland and district in the west of Mainland, Shetland. The "d" is not pronounced locally.
The headland flanks the south side of Papa Sound, near Papa Stour leading into St Magnus Bay; and the district includes the headland, and forms the mainland part of Walls parish. The land itself, is fairly fertile - for Shetland- and runs from Bousta to Huxter
