Kettla Ness, Kettlaness or just Kettla is a tied island and headland in Shetland.[4] It is connected by the tombolo Minn beach (Banna Minn), to the south end of West Burra, part of the Scalloway Islands.[5][6] The headland itself is conspicuous and circa 160 feet high.[7][8] The island is accessible to walkers via Minn beach and is now uninhabitated.[7] It is principally used for Sheep farming and pasture.[6]
