Unst is connected to the adjacent island of Yell by a 10 minute ferry crossing from Belmont to Gutcher which runs throughout the day.  A further regular 20 minute ferry service from Ulsta on Yell runs to Toft on mainland Shetland.

Baltasound is the population centre of Unst, the most northerly island in Shetland and the northern most part of the British Isles.  There is a good variety of local amenities including Baltasound Junior High School which has nursery, primary and secondary departments, leisure centre with swimming pool, two general merchants (one with fuel pumps), Post Office, health centre, garage, hotel and small boat marina. 

Unst is noted for it’s scenery, wildlife and geology and provides a wide range of interests for visitors and residents alike.
