The Ramna Stacks are a group of skerries in the Shetland islands. They are north of the northern tip of Mainland, and along with nearby Gruney they are a special protection area on account of their birdlife.[1][2]
From north to south they consist of:
- Gaut Skerries
- Outer Stack
- Scordar
- Turla
- Speolk
- Hyter (formerly Driter)
- Stab
- Ofoora
- Fladda (which has a natural arch and two caves)
- Flae-ass
- Barlcudda
Gruney and the islet of The Club lie just to the south of the Ramna Stacks.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
