Gluss Isle is linked to Shetland Mainland by a 300 metres long stony tombolo known as the Gluss Ayre. It lies a mile to the south east of the delightful village of Ollaberry. The island is 2km from north to south by 1.5 km from east to west. The highest point is Ramna Hill at 62m. There are good views of the Sullom Voe Oil Terminal from the island. There is a track up as far as the leading navigation light for Sullom Voe maritime traffic at the south end of the island.
