Your Itinerary
Reawick
Stop at Sand Honesty Box where you'll have the chance to purchase some fresh homebaking in true Shetland fashion before heading down to the beach for a photostop.
Culswick
We take a short walk up to the small and beautiful Culswick Chapel.
Stanydale Temple
Stanydale ‘Temple’ is the only truly megalithic structure surviving from prehistoric Shetland. It comprises a wall of large boulders enclosing a wide oval area, which would have originally been enclosed by a great timber roof. Nobody knows what purpose Stanydale served. The archaeologist who excavated the site called it a ‘temple’, as the structure is similar to known Neolithic temples in Malta. However, it could just as easily have acted as a village hall, courtroom or chieftan’s hall. Whatever its purpose, it’s a significant building in a landscape rich in prehistoric structures.
Skeld
We journey west, travelling through the Tingwall Valley, past the historic Park Hall and arrive in Skeld, our first stop. Here we learn about the former cod fishery and spend some time exploring the pleasant marina. There will also be a chance to purchase refreshments.
