Lovely hidden gem of information on Whalsay. I particularly enjoyed the lace knitting exhibition. The museum building itself and surrounding buildings are interesting, located behind the Secondary School, which was once the Lairds house, full of atmosphere.
Great museum with eclectic collection showcasing fishing industry as well as knitting. Different exhibition each visit so far. Keep up the fantastic work
