About this spot
The Viking Project on Unst in the Shetland Islands, Scotland, is a unique and fascinating place for landscape photographers. The project is a reconstruction of a Viking longhouse and ship, and it offers visitors a glimpse into the lives of the Vikings who once lived in Shetland.
The Viking Project was founded in 1999 by archaeologist and historian Dr. Tom Muir. Muir was inspired to start the project after excavating a Viking site on Unst. He wanted to create a place where people could learn about Viking culture and experience the way of life that the Vikings had in Shetland.
