Old Photograph Tourists Rowing Boat Lerwick Scotland
Old photograph of tourists in a rowing boat near Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Scotland. Lerwick is a name with roots in Old Norse and its local descendant, Norn, which was spoken in Shetland until the middle of the 19th century. The name " Lerwick " means bay of clay. The corresponding Norwegian name is Leirvik, leir meaning clay and vik meaning " bay " or " inlet ". Towns with similar names exist in southwestern Norway, Leirvik, and Lervik and on the Faroe Islands, LeirvĂk.
