Old Photograph Church Weisdale Scotland

Old photograph of the church in Weisdale, Shetland Islands, Scotland. Built as a Free Church in 1863, allocated to the United Free Church in 1908 and finally the Church of Scotland in 1929. Weisdale was the scene of a series of evictions of crofters in favour of large scale sheep farming in the 19th century. Approximately three hundred and eighteen crofters were evicted from the Weisdale valley in what is described as the clearances.
