Fladda, Ofoora and Hyter

The Ramna Stacks are a group of skerries in the Shetland islands. They are north of the northern tip of Mainland, and along with nearby Gruney they are a special protection area on account of their birdlife.[1][2]

From north to south they consist of:

  • Gaut Skerries
  • Outer Stack
  • Scordar
  • Turla
  • Speolk
  • Hyter (formerly Driter)
  • Stab
  • Ofoora
  • Fladda (which has a natural arch and two caves)
  • Flae-ass
  • Barlcudda

Gruney and the islet of The Club lie just to the south of the Ramna Stacks.[3]
