HU5241 : Former coastguard look-out, Ander Hill
taken 15 years ago, near to Brough, Bressay, Shetland Islands, Scotland
Former coastguard look-out, Ander Hill
This disused coastguard look-out post at the top of Ander Hill is a very conspicuous feature of eastern Bressay. It dates from World War I and the watchmen here could direct the defence guns at Bard Head, and the one at Ernes Hill.
This photo was taken from down near to where the small ferry departs for Noss across Noss Sound looking up to the top of Ander Hill (St Andrew's Hill) which rises to 144m (472').

Bressay :: HU5040
The Isle of Bressay lies just off the eastern coast of Mainland, Shetland opposite the capital of Lerwick and effectively protecting that town and its harbour from the excesses of the weather. The sea between the two is the Sound of Bressay, and a regular ferry service plies the short trip between them.
Bressay is quite a large island being about 10.8 miles² (2805 ha) making it the 5th largest of the constituent islands of Shetland after Mainland, Yell, Unst and Fetlar. It has about 400 inhabitants, and some industry mostly the fish processing plant in the northwest of the island.
The highest point on the island is Ward of Bressay which achieves 741' (226m)
