Buness House  

The ConservatoryBuness is a 16th Century listed family house by the sea on the northernmost island of Unst. This 4 Star hosted home offers four comfortable bedrooms, with en-suite or own bathrooms, a restful drawing room and a sea-facing conservatory from which, in the wonderful light of long summer evenings, you can watch birds, seals and sometimes otters while you dine, enjoying deliciously cooked local sea and land produce. Or you can browse through the books in the interesting and well stocked library.

Otters and herons frequent the shoreline below the house. Seals sometimes bask on the pier and there is abundant birdlife.  There are scenic walks and there is much of historic, botanical, cultural, geological and archeological interest to see on the island.  Loch and sea trout fishing for guests.

Unst is Britain's most northerly isle, the island on which Robert Louis Stevenson based his map of "Treasure Island" and the most northerly point you can walk to in Britain, with only the impressive Flugga Rock and lighthouse (built by Stevenson 1858) between you and the North Pole.
