The Drongs are a group of sea stacks off the coast of Hillswick Ness, Northmavine, Shetland, Scotland. They lie to the west of the Isle of Westerhouse in St Magnus Bay. They have been described as "a focus of interest from all surrounding parts, including Eshaness",[3] from which they are the most readily viewed, and as such are considered an icon of Eshaness,[4] along with the famous Dore Holm.[5]
