history & tradition
Unst plays an important role in Shetland's history, as well as having its own unique slice of pastimes, culture and traditions.
The Unst Heritage Trust comprises the Heritage Centre and Boat Haven. Our two small museums are committed to showcasing to visitors our culture, hearts, values, traditions and heritage. Through unique displays and resources, our two small visitor centres display artefacts to make the experience to the past seem as visible and real as possible.
Other notable, and popular, spots to see are the famous Muness Castle and Shetland Amenity Trust's Viking Unst project.
