Based in the Highlands and Islands region of Scotland.

HZ17

HZ17 is within the post town of Shetland.

The square is within Shetland Islands council.

The HZ17 national grid square measures 10 km by 10 km and has an area of 1,000 kilometres squared.

The technical term for a 10 km map square is a Hectad.

When this 10 km square is divided into a grid 10 by 10 it gives the next size of grid square. This unit is called a Monad and measures 1km square. 100 monads fit in a 10km square.

Out of the monads generated from square HZ17, 10 are land and 90 are sea. Sea squares are disregarded on this site as they contain no land features.
