| SHETLAND > POOL OF VIRKIE - NORDAGERDI
For birders, Nordagerdi is probably the best-situated self-catering cottage in Shetland. Situated at the southern tip of Shetland, the Northernmost of the British Isles, Nordagerdi, run by well-known birder Rob Fray, is an ideal base from which to explore the islands.
Nordagerdi is in a prime location, with the impressive seabird colony at Sumburgh Head close by, along with the renowned migrant hotspots of Grutness, Scatness, Sumburgh Lighthouse, Quendale and of course the Pool of Virkie, which really is on the doorstep!
Interesting sites to visit within a couple of miles of the cottage include the historic Jarlshof viking settlement, Old Scatness Broch excavations, Quendale Water Mill, and the Croft House Museum at Boddam. Four of Shetland's finest beaches, at Grutness, West Voe of Sumburgh, Quendale and Scousburgh, are close to the cottage.
Local amenities include the restaurant and bar at Sumburgh Hotel, a shop and post office at Toab, and the larger shop and petrol station near Boddam. The cottage is close to a bus route which can take visitors to Lerwick and beyond.
Nordagerdi is situated on the north shore of the Pool of Virkie, and enjoys panoramic views of the southern tip of Shetland. The property is a spacious two bedroom cottage which can sleep up to four people. There is a large garden for use by visitors, and ample parking for several cars.
