Hermaness National Nature Reserve
Hermaness is home to the third largest colony of flying pirates in the world: the bonxies or great skuas.

During summer some 25,000 pairs of puffins breed in burrows on the cliff edges while on the moor live rare and elegant red-throated divers.
A summer warden is based at the shore station. He/she carries out research work and may be available to answer visitors' questions. A flat at the shore station has been converted by SNH into a visitor centre, by Muckle Flugga Lighthouse.
We've not recommended it for young children because it's isolated and the weather is very changeable here, with storms or high winds sweeping in very swiftly. They advise you to always take waterproofs, regardless of the weather.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Hermaness National Nature Reserve, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
