- Mavis_Grind abstract "Mavis Grind (Old Norse: Mæfeiðs grind, meaning ‘gate of the narrow isthmus’‘) is a narrow isthmus joining the Northmavine peninsula to the rest of the island of Shetland Mainland in the Shetland Islands, UK. It is just 33 metres (108 ft) wide at its narrowest point. It carries the main A970 road to Hillswick in the north west of Shetland and is a few miles from the settlement of Voe.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.
