Archaeological Survey of the Coastline of Bressay, Shetland
Bressay History Group (2003)
The Bressay History Group was formed in 1990 to research and promote the history, archaeology and natural history of the island of Bressay in Shetland. In 1996 we built the Bressay Heritage Centre as a local museum where we mount an annual exhibition of our previous year’s research. During the winter months we have regular illustrated talks by local researchers on various topics relating to Bressay and Shetland.

The archaeological survey of the coastline was undertaken to ensure previously unrecorded sites were noted. Sites already known about (as published in the Shetland Sites and Monuments Record) are not noted in the publication. We would therefore direct interested parties to consult the SMR held by the Shetland Amenity Trust in conjunction with this publication for a fuller corpus of archaeological sites in Bressay.
