Shetland

Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland

Offering an introduction to the archaeological heritage of Scotland, this series tells the story of parts of Scotland, tracing human impressions on the landscape from World War II relics back to the earliest pioneer days of settlement. This work examines Shetland. It includes a look at an 18th-century fort in Lerwick, a Viking-age farm beside Sumburgh Airport, Scotland’s best-preserved iron-age broch on the island of Mousa, tombstones and storehouses that illustrate Shetland’s North Sea trade in the 17th and 18th centuries.
