Scalloway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scalloway is the largest settlement on Shetland's Atlantic coast with a population of approximately 1,000 people. Until 1708 it was the capital of the Shetland Islands (now Lerwick, on the east coast of the Shetland Mainland).
Scalloway Castle is located near the quay (the castle is usually locked, however a key can be borrowed from the nearby Scalloway Hotel). Scalloway is also the location of the North Atlantic Fisheries College which offers numerous courses and supports several research programmes in fisheries sciences, aquaculture, marine engineering and coastal management etc.
