Geograph - photograph every grid square

taken 15 years ago, near to Westing, Unst, Shetland Islands, Scotland

Former TACAN site, Valla Field

A TACAN (TACtical Air Navigation) dome, used to assist military aeroplane navigation, formerly stood here and was maintained by RAF Saxa Vord. It has been removed since the RAF base became an unmanned remote station. The hill of Sneuga can be seen in the distance. See also HP5807 : RAF TACAN Navigation Aid
