General Situation
The village of Mid Yell is situated in the middle of the island of Yell, the larger of the North Isles, which sits between mainland Shetland and the neighbouring island of Unst. The island measures about 19 miles long by 7½ miles wide, and has a population of around 950. Mid Yell is situated on the east side of the island, on the south side of Mid Yell Voe which the sites overlook.
Yell is connected to mainland Shetland by a regular subsidised ro-ro ferry service (crossing time approximately 20 minutes) which runs throughout the day from the terminal at Ulsta about 10 miles from the sites, to Toft about 10 minutes from Brae & Sullom Voe and about 27 miles from Lerwick, Shetland’s capital.
Being the main population centre, Mid Yell is the location of the main amenities on the island, all of which are within walking distance. These include a local shop & post office, new Junior High School, leisure centre & swimming pool, medical centre which includes a dental surgery, care centre, pier & boating club.
To find the sites, drive to Mid Yell. Drive past the first group of buildings at the top of the hill and follow road down the hill. Turn left by the public hall, and left again following signs for Gardiestaing. Carry on past the health centre on the left to the houses at Burrapark. The access to the sites is on the right hand side of the road immediately after a house on the right hand side of the road opposite Burrapark.
