Sullom (Shaetlan pronunciation: ['suləm] SOO-ləm) is a village on the Shetland peninsula of Northmavine, between Haggrister and Bardister. It lies on the northwest side of Sullom Voe, to which it gives its name.[1]

Sullom hall has been used as a venue during the Shetland Folk Festival.[2][3]

Scatsta Airfield, on the opposite shore of the Voe, and which grew from the nearby flying boat base of RAF Sullom Voe, is sometimes referred to as 'Sullom Airport'.[4]
