Old Photograph Vaila Shetland Scotland
Old photograph of natural arches on Vaila, Shetland Islands, Scotland. This island has been inhabited for thousands of years, and neolithic and bronze age remains have been found here. The folklore of the isle Vaila says that no cat will live in it, and if any cat be brought to it, they will rather venture to sea, than stay in the isle. They say that a cat was seen upon the isle a long time ago; but how it came there was unknown. They observed about the same time, how the proprietor was in great torment, and as they supposed by witchcraft, of which they say he then died. There is no account that any cat has been seen in the isle ever since that gentleman’s death.
