Old Photograph Bridgend Church Burra Shetland Scotland

Old photograph of Bridgend Church on West Burra on the Shetland Islands, Scotland. Built in 1865 as a United Presbyterian Church, amalgamated with the United Free Church in 1900 and became part of the Church of Scotland in 1929. Church and attached manse were built together, the church looking very like a cottage apart from the bellcote on the gable. West Burra is one of the Scalloway Islands, a subgroup of the Shetland Islands. West Burra is linked to the Shetland Mainland via Trondra by a series of bridges. This village is near to the bridge to East Burra.
