According to The Shetland Dictionary, a noost is:

the place, usually a hollow at the edge of a beach, where a boat is drawn up.

Watch the Good Shepherd IV enter the water from its noost; it is an impressive noost indeed. The ferry serves the Scottish island Fair Isle, the remotest inhabited island in the UK.
