Old Photograph Gremista Scotland

Old photograph of Gremista at the North end of Lerwick, on the Shetland Islands, Scotland. An 18th century Shetland fishing booth was built here in 1780 by Arthur Nicholson, local landowner and manager of the Gremista fishing station. The building provided family accommodation and a store for the fishing and fish curing activities that took place on the adjacent beach. It was the birthplace of Arthur Anderson, co-founder of Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company.
