The Scalloway Museum is a community-owned gem that tells the fascinating story of Scalloway and its people, from ancient times to the present day. With a special focus on the daring 'Shetland Bus' operations during World War II, the museum boasts an impressive collection of artifacts and information. Originally opened in 1985, the museum underwent a major revamp in 2012 and continues to be a popular attraction for visitors worldwide. Run by enthusiastic volunteers, this museum offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of this Shetland town.
