    Archery

    The only archery I currently know of is at Asta, near the caravan park and the golf club.
  7. There is a Shetland Boxing Club Facebook page but nothing seems to have been posted for 18 months. https://www.facebook.com/ShetlandBoxingClub/
  8. I thought the same but then I wondered if there would be a spare driver available as most of them will be out on tourist buses.
  9. This was a fortnight ago. The steel framework for a shed has gone up. https://imgur.com/gallery/LnUCiOa
  10. This web page says the post office was near the pier. https://wikishire.co.uk/wiki/Papa_Stour
  11. Before the Band were the Band they were the Hawks, backing rocker Ronnie Hawkins. Hawkins had moved to Canada from Arkansas along with his band. The rest of the group left apart from drummer Levon Helm and were replaced by Canadians. The Band drifted away from Hawkins when they got too good for him. Listen to Robertson's lead guitar on this track. He was only 16.
  12. This forum seems to have been taken over totally by spammers. Time to let it finally die?
  13. I took a run right up to the north of Unst today. The frame of a large building has been erected along with a water tank. Work of a less obvious nature was going on as well.
  14. If you scroll up the page you will find a link to a Facebook page that is still active.
  15. I'm going to Unst on Friday so I'll report back if I get the chance to see the site.
  16. I would think after 14 years they would have got the names sorted.
  17. The post you quote is from 2009! Shetland Cricket has a Facebook page but there seems to be very little recent stuff on it. https://www.facebook.com/p/Shetland-Cricket-Association-100065680201848/
  18. I think it was the oil companies who complained about so much of their profit being drained by Shetland.
  19. Shetland Accomodation https://www.facebook.com/groups/284411785003452
  20. The oil industry did indeed pay compensation to Shetland - there is a document called the Disturbance Agreement signed in 1974. This is the document that offered the legendary 2p per tonne of Sullom Voe oil to the Shetland people. The sums received went into the Charitable Trust and have been invested in Shetland infrastructure and industry, plus being paid out in grants to the needy.
  21. You could try Shetland Property Lets. https://www.shetlandpropertylets.com/ Or Arthur & Simpson https://arthurandsimpson.com/ There are also Facebook pages you could try.
