Scalloway was once the capital of the Shetland Islands, and the ruins of its castle, built by the tyrannical Earl Patrick Stuart in the 16th century, are still a prominent feature near the shore at Blacksness.  This spectacular view, looking west from the Scord, shows the village and the islands beyond.
