Upon entering Yell from the Yell Sound ferry, the first area you meet is Ulsta. Near the Ulsta ferry terminal is the Ulsta Shop and further along the road is the main area of Ulsta. The Ulsta Post Office is at the top of the hill just past the chalets if you take the road to the right instead of continuing around the corner.
