Some places are intriguing or attractive simply because of their names. Ten miles north of Lerwick is a junction on the main road where it meets the B9057 from the east. This road leads to Nesting, one of those names you just can't pass by.
South Nesting and North Nesting are not villages, they are areas of this hilly landscape fringed by rocky shores. Not as spectacular as some parts of Shetland, but beautiful nonetheless.
The "B" road that runs around the area is called the "Nesting Loop". If you are coming from the south it turns off the main road in a moorland area deserted save for a stone cottage on the far side of the valley to the north. This is Catfirth, and it is difficult to believe now that in the 1914-18 war there was a naval air station here, presumably flying seaplanes from Cat Firth to the south.
