The village of Voe is at the head of Olna Firth and is the meeting point of two major (for Shetland) routes. The A970 from Lerwick and the south shifts eastwards here before continuing towards Brae and Northmavine whilst the A968 continues northwards to Mossbank and the ferries to Yell and Unst. Two "B" roads lead west to West Mainland and east to Vidlin. This east side of the firth is also home to much of the new housing that has sprung up since the 1970s oil boom, plus the village shops and other services (https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/shetland/voe/index.html Undiscovered Scotland).
