Can I point out that there are factual errors in this version of the article, which I tried to rectify. I know that some people regard their work as perfect, but ... 212.219.242.162 10:16, 20 April 2006 (UTC) Meaulnes reply

Ok this is stupid, this entire entry is ripped off from this article. You can't do that... This badly needs to be started again from scratch, though I seriously doubt anyone cares enough. 81.136.162.238 08:42, 11 December 2006 (UTC) reply

I worked this one out... The user that extended the entry into what it is now, is a writer for Undiscovered Scotland (which is where the article came from). I really think this entry could be better written by someone local and I know there's a few historians in Scalloway aware of their surroundings, I hope one of them sees this ^^; Simplicity lies within chaos 09:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Cut and paste text from Undiscovered Scotland, as noted above, now removed and replaced with referenced material. Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck ( talk) 12:37, 2 April 2014 (UTC) reply
