Kettla Ness is found at the south of West Burra and accessed by Minn Beach. The headland itself is conspicuous and circa 160 feet high. This area is uninhabited and is principally used for Sheep farming and pasture. On the south side of Kettla Ness is a stream flowing from the Outra Loch. Along the stream there are numerous examples of ruined historic horizontal watermills that extend down to Groot Ness on the south coast.

Loch Watsness lies to the south of Loch Goster. From here you have great views over the cliffs and out to Foula. The large earthen bank, you can see running from the cliffs to the west point of the Loch, is thought to be part of a prehistoric boundary system.

The broch (a drystone roundhouse) is on the promontory that juts out into the Loch of Houlland. It's largely buried but here and there the exposed wall survives. There is also causeway that connects the headland with a nearby island in the loch, and another connecting the island to the west shore.

The loch is the home of the only resident Mute Swans on Shetland as well as several other species of waterbird. The Law Ting Holm is a promontory at the north end of the loch, it used to be an island accessible by causeway, but the water level was lowered in the 1850's which connected it to the mainland. This was the site of Shetlands earliest parliament.

Burravoe is the village in the southeastern corner of Yell on the coast of the natural harbour named Burra Voe. It's a little place with the oldest house on Yell, the Old Haa Museum which is thought to have been built in 1637.
