West Sandwick is a settlement on the island of Yell, Shetland Islands, Scotland. It is one of the few settlements in the west of the island.
West Sandwick contains one of the major recreational beaches in Yell.[1]
The area south of Southladie Flo is an important feeding area for locally breeding red-throated divers. The rare curved sedge (Carex maritima) grows beside an exit stream on West Sandwick beach.[1]
The bay contains a distinctive shingle spit known as the Urabug.

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.
