Billister is a small settlement on the east side of Lax Firth, a small inlet on the south side of Dury Voe, in the north end of Nesting, on the east side of the Shetland Mainland.
Before the days of the Ro-Ro ferry from Laxo, a ferry operated between Billister and Symbister on Whalsay. The pier at Billister was built by the Zetland County Council in 1956.
