4,000 years ago someone built a fine hall on a spot that couldn't be seen from the sea... In those days most of what that came by sea didn't bode well... This is what's left of it...

There aren't a lot of trees on the Shetlands, whoever was there before the Vikings used most of them for fuel, the sheep kept the rest under control...
