Lonely Planet review for Böd of Gremista

This house was once the headquarters of a fish-curing station, and was also the birthplace of Arthur Anderson, who went on to found P&O Ferries. The friendly custodian is a delight, and will show you around two rooms restored to how they were 200 years ago, and an exhibit on the history of the whitefish industry.

The building also houses the Shetland Textile Working Museum, with displays on the knitted and woven textiles and patterns that take their name from the islands. The böd is a mile north of the town centre, overlooking the small-boat harbour.
