Old Photograph Gossabrough Yell Shetland Islands Scotland

Old photograph of Gossabrough, a coastal hamlet on the south east side of the island of the Isle of Yell, Shetland Islands, Scotland. The Wick of Gossabrough lies between the northern extremity of Gossabrough Ness and the Saddle of Swarister. The hamlet is accessed via the B9081 road. The Loch of Hudon lies just to the south west. The remains of rectangular structures found in the area indicate that this was a settlement inhabited by early Norse peoples. In 1924, the " White Lady ", known locally as the " Widden Wife ", was shipwrecked in the vicinity.
