Old Photographs Lunna House Scotland
Old photograph of Lunna House on the Shetland Islands, Scotland. The earliest part of this Scottish house was built in 1660 for Robert Hunter. In 1845 Robina Hunter inherited the property. The following year she married Robert Bell, Sheriff at Lerwick, and a son of the surgeon Joseph Bell. Their son Robert Bell Hunter, 8th Laird of Lunna, sold the property in 1893 to John Bruce of Sumburgh. Bruce had the house extended in the 20th century. During the Second World War, Lunna House became a base for the Shetland Bus, a clandestine operation to transfer men and materials between Shetland and Nazi-occupied Norway.
