About this spot
Scalloway is the largest settlement on the west coast of Mainland Shetland, Scotland. It was once the capital of the Shetland Islands, and it is still a thriving community today. Scalloway is known for its picturesque harbor, its rich history, and its friendly people.
Scalloway was founded in the 17th century by Earl Patrick Stewart. Stewart built a castle in Scalloway, which became the seat of power for the Shetland Islands. Scalloway was also a major center for fishing and trade. In the 18th century, Scalloway was the base for the Shetland Bus, a clandestine operation that ferried supplies and resistance fighters between Shetland and Norway during World War II.
