The Drongs are a cluster of jagged sea stacks rising out of the water off Braewick, near Eshaness — a classic Shetland seascape and a serious test-piece for climbers. You view them from the shore or the clifftop near Eshaness; no need to get any closer to appreciate the shapes against a rolling sea.
