Old Photograph Melby House Sandness Shetland Shetland Islands Scotland

Old photograph of Melby House built in 1800 at Sandness, Shetland Islands, Scotland. Sandness is a headland and district in the west of Mainland, Shetland. The " d " is not pronounced locally. The headland flanks the south side of Papa Sound near Papa Stour leading into St Magnus Bay and the district includes the headland and forms the mainland part of Walls parish. The land itself is fairly fertile for Shetland and runs from Bousta to Huxter, with Norby and Melby in the middle.
