==Summary== Northmavine includes the villages of Hillswick, Ollaberry, and North Roe. An isthmus, Mavis Grind, about a hundred yards across, forms the sole connection with the rest of Mainland. The coast is indented by numerous bays and consists largely of high, steep rocks. There are a number of high, fissured, cavernous cliffs on the west coast, faced by many skerries, islets, and offshore rocks. The interior has a very small amount of arable land; it consists mostly of rough, rising ground, including Ronas Hill, the highest point in all Shetland.
