Walls

Walls is a sheltered harbour, protected from southerly gales by the islands of Linga and Vaila, and has a public pier, a marina with 2 visitor's berths, and a second pier at the Walls Boating Club. Deep draft yachts should use the public pier.

As you approach the head of the harbour, take a wide berth around all shoals, and enter the marina to the north of the small island. Power and water are available at the public pier, which is more suitable for larger yachts. The cheerful boating club and the family run bakery and tea room are close at hand.

This is the starting point for the annual Round Foula Yacht Race as well as the Walls Regatta held every year. Just off  Vaila Sound is an award winning restaurant, Burrastow House, where much of the food is grown on the premises in one of Shetland's most productive gardens.

Vaila island has an area of around 3km-Sq and supports a magnificent Edwardian mansion, the largest house of it's kind in Shetland as well as the ancient watch tower, Mucklaberry Castle.
