Mavis Grind is a narrow
isthmus joining the
Northmavine peninsula to the rest of
Shetland Mainland in the
Shetland Islands,
UK. It is just 35 yards wide at its narrowest point. The name means 'gate of the narrow isthmus' in the local dialect.
It carries the main A970 road to
Hillswick in the north west of Shetland and is a few miles from the settlement of
Brae.
Mavis Grind is said to be the only place in the UK where you can toss a stone across land from the
North Sea to the
Atlantic Ocean. It is a regular crossing point for
otters, which in Shetland are sea-dwelling and many unfortunately become road casualties.
