Maiden Stack

Taken from the ferry, in this image Brei Holm is at right with Maiden Stack immediately to its left and at centre. An unanmed stack in front of Maiden Stack appears as if joined to it, to the left of the highest point.[1][2][Note 1]

The Maiden Stack or Frau Stack is a tiny stack in the western Shetland Islands to the north of Brei Holm and east of Housa Voe about 140 metres (150 yd) off Papa Stour. Reaching 7.6 metres (25 ft) above sea level[3] the stack is the highest of several in the area and also known locally as Muckle Fru.[4]
