Ronas Voe, Coastal inlet in Northmavine, Shetland Islands, United Kingdom
Ronas Voe extends as the second largest inlet in Shetland, dividing the land between Ronas Hill and the Tingon peninsula with deep waters and steep cliffs.
The Battle of Ronas Voe occurred in 1674 when the English Royal Navy captured the Dutch East India Company vessel Wapen van Rotterdam in these waters.
The name combines Ronas, derived from the adjacent hill, and Voe, a term from Shaetlan language describing a fjord or sea inlet.
The inlet contains six offshore aquaculture sites for salmon and mussel farming, supporting the local fishing industry and maritime activities.
The coastal features include Lang Ayre, recognized as the longest beach in Shetland, and The Blade, where Arctic terns establish nesting grounds during summer months.
