Overview
Scalloway is the ancient capital of Shetland. On the Main Street, opposite the Burnbeach carpark, you will find the Scalloway Museum, which has been open since 1985.
There is a diverse range of artefacts on display covering all aspects of Shetland life and history. The Shetland Bus exhibition is a tribute to the resistance movement , which operated between Norway and Scalloway during World War 2. This exhibition is extensive, of great importance and relates to the unique and valuable contribution made by the people involved in the Resistance.
School parties are welcomed along with the many thousands of visitors who annually flock to this interesting collection.
