Lunna House, 17th-century mansion in Vidlin, Shetland Islands, Great Britain.

The stone building with cross-shaped layout stands on Lunna Ness peninsula between East Lunna Voe and West Lunna Voe waterways.

Constructed in 1660 by Robert Hunter, the Chamberlain of Zetland, the residence underwent expansions in 1710, 1750, 1810, 1850, and 1897.

The building features an armorial panel commemorating the 1707 marriage between Thomas Hunter and Grisella Bruce, marking significant architectural changes.

The mansion operates as a bed and breakfast establishment, offering accommodations for travelers exploring the northern Shetland Islands region.

During World War II, Lunna House served as the initial headquarters for Special Operations Executive's Shetland Bus missions to Nazi-occupied Norway.
