Welcome to the sound of Lerwick, then to the anchorages around Yell. A wild bird sanctuary to visit in the north of the archipelago, from the most northerly anchorage in the UK.

Day 14 - Disembarkation - Port of Stornoway
Disembarkation in Stornoway harbor around 6:00 pm, or before 10:00 am the next day, time to thank the skipper for this cruise to the puffin kingdom. Then it's time to leave with a mind full of fabulous memories, a smile on your face and a desire to come back!
