General Information
The island which has a population of around 360 is served by a quick five minute ro-ro ferry service which runs to The Esplanade right in the centre of Lerwick, the service generally running hourly throughout the day and evening.
Local amenities on Bressay itself include the shop and post office plus a community hall, heritage centre, café and marina, although the frequent ferry service means amenities in the town are also relatively easily accessible. During the summer months it is possible to access the neighbouring uninhabited island of Noss on the east side of Bressay which is an important national nature reserve notable for its bird life. Bressay has many lovely coastal and hill walks, with spectacular cliffs, lochs and local historic sites.
