With a population of 1000 the village has retained the idyllic charm of a small fishing port and picturesque harbour, set below the ruins of Scalloway Castle. The castle was built from 1595 - 1600 by Earl Patrick Stewart (nephew of Mary Queen of Scots) who was executed for treason in 1615.
Scalloway Harbour is a sheltered spot with three navigable channels and ample modern quay space for larger vessels and additional berthing space at the lively Scalloway Boating Club.
There is a strong link to the past and the Shetland Bus Memorial commemorates the Norwegian fishing vessels and crews who bravely ferried people and weapons between Scalloway and occupied Norway during World War II.
The Scalloway Summer Street Party will be happening during the week from 16-21 July, featuring a wide range of traditional and modern music, dance, drumming, and community events. During this time the Fraser Park Open Day will bring the whole community out to welcome the visiting ships and provide a feast of fun and games for young and old.
Scalloway is a gateway to explore a huge diversity of Shetland landscapes, beaches, history and wildlife.
