Bod of Gremista and Textile Museum
Built in 1780, this is the only böd in Shetland which has been renovated to its historical state.

As well as being an important part of Shetlands fishing heritage, the böd was the birthplace of Arthur Anderson, a legendary Shetlander and founder of P & O Ferries. Two rooms have been restored to how they looked 200 years ago, in the time of Anderson's childhood. They also contain displays explaining the history of the whitefish industry at that time, when the böd was a fishing station house and warehouse.

The rest of the building houses the collection of the Shetland Textile Working Museum, specialising in the beautiful textiles that have become synonymous with the Shetland name. Operated by dedicated volunteers, the displays incorporate a room for "hands-on" activities and the themed exhibition for the year.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Bod of Gremista and Textile Museum, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
