Quendale Bay, a bay towards the southern extremity of Dunrossness parish, Shetland. Opening from the SW, it is flanked by Fitful Head and Scatness (the latter 1¼ mile W by N of Sumburgh Head); and it measures 33/8 miles across the entrance, and 21/8 miles thence to its inmost recess. It is esteemed a good natural harbour. Quendale House, at its head, 23 miles SSW of Lerwick, is the seat of Andrew John Grierson, Esq. (b. 1832; suc. 1863), who holds 22, 006 acres, valued at £1132 per annum.
