Hamars Ness

Hamars Ness ferry terminal

Hamars Ness is a headland on the island of Fetlar in Shetland, Scotland.[1] The name is from the Old Norse Hamarsnes meaning "craggy headland". A ro-ro ferry is operated from here, which links Fetlar to the Shetland Mainland, and to the island of Unst.[2] Hamars Ness is to the north of Fetlar's main village of Houbie.
