Noss is a small, uninhabited island to the east side of the Isle of Bressay. As a RSPB reserve this island offers an opportunity to enjoy thousands of birds whilst paddling under dramatic cliffs found on the eastern coastline. This coastline has a remote and ‘out there’ feel about it, despite being relatively sheltered and accessible.
