Isles visits

This is a service we have provided since 1986 with only a few cancellations due to adverse weather conditions! Whalsay visits are usually arranged on a monthly basis and we visit several of the other outer isles as and when necessary.

Contact us to arrange a visit

  • The vet consults at the Baltasound Hall from approximately 10.40am to 11.40am on Thursdays, and then visits any farm animals or horses needing attention

  • As the population is so spread out in Yell, we do not have a central surgery, but do home visits instead on Thursday afternoons. A member of our reception team will be able to give you an approximate time for your visit, which may vary depending on the vet’s workload. There is a charge for the visit.

  • Visits are arranged in a similar system to Yell – contact us to make an appointment. Whalsay visits are carried out every 4 - 6 months.

  • A vet occasionally visits other isles such as Foula, Fetlar and Papa Stour.
