Duncansclett is a small settlement on the west island of Burra, off the west side of the south Shetland Mainland.
It is approximately 3 miles south of Burra's main village of Hamnavoe, at the end of the road through the west island, and where the island narrows between Banna Minn and West Voe.
The Pioneer was wrecked at an unspecified point between Duncansclett and Banna Minn on either March 1st or 3rd 1880.
In the foreground is Houss Ness, on the east island of Burra, and Clift Sound.
The loch, just to the right behind Duncansclett, is Ruff Loch.
The west mainland, near Reawick, is just visible through the mist at the top right.
This picture was taken from the top of Royl Field, above Sandwick, near to the Mosquito Memorial.
