The Ramna Stacks are a group of skerries in the Shetland islands. They are north of the northern tip of Mainland, and along with nearby Gruney they are a special protection area on account of their birdlife.[1][2]
From north to south they consist of:
- Gaut Skerries
- Outer Stack
- Scordar
- Turla
- Speolk
- Hyter (formerly Driter)
- Stab
- Ofoora
- Fladda (which has a natural arch and two caves)
- Flae-ass
- Barlcudda
Gruney and the islet of The Club lie just to the south of the Ramna Stacks.[3]
The Ramna Stacks also lent their name to Welsh nu-jazz band, ramnastax.
