windsweptislander Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I read an page or two about this in one of the books in the Breawick cafe, the bairn was picked up while her dad was working the croft in unst, it was chased to fetlar where a boy went down on a rope to rescue the baby lass, later they married. The book did say the story might be true, so it might not. just for interest, you can skip to about 4min without missing much, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wwvPLPntZk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachlady Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Ern Stack in the Wast neeps in Yell is where the last eagle was killed.The ome which took the baby from Braehead near Norwick has its eyrie in the Blue Banks of Fetlar . The boy was on his way home from the shop at Urie when the men were discussing who could go down the old rope.It is said that in later years the boys mother sent him to get a quern stone from Unst and call to see how the lass was. there aredescendants in the island here as well as Gussie.
