Inlet in Shetland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sullom Voe is an eight-mile-long voe or inlet off Yell Sound in the Shetland Islands. It divides the Northmavine peninsula from the remainder of the Mainland (the two are connected by an isthmus at the head of the voe known as Mavis Grind). It is well known as the location of the Sullom Voe Oil Terminal.[1]
During the Second World War, the voe was used as a base for flying boats. With the coming of the oil terminal, the airfield was upgraded and modernised to create Scatsta Airport.[2]
