The Lang Ayre is a beach on the west side of Ronas Hill, Northmavine, Shetland. At 1 kilometre (0.6 mi)[1] in length it is the archipelago's longest.[2] It is accessed either by a long walk from the top of Collafirth Hill down the Burn of Monius, or by sea. The beach's sand is red,[3] eroded from the up to 700 feet (210 m)[4] high red granite cliffs towering above it.[1]
