Kettla Ness, Kettlaness or just Kettla is a tied island and headland in Shetland. It is connected by the tombolo Minn beach (Banna Minn), to the south end of West Burra, part of the Scalloway Islands. The headland itself is conspicuous and circa 160 feet high. The island is accessible to walkers via Minn beach and is now uninhabitated. It is principally used for Sheep farming and pasture.
