Local to Tingwall:
Tingwall Kirk
As well as being the site of Shetland’s parliament, Tingwall was also the base of the Archdeacon of Shetland. The present church was built in 1788, but there is believed to have been a church on the site since the 12th century. The burial vault in the churchyard is thought to have belonged to this earlier church.
The Murder Stone
Standing right beside the road at the south end of the Loch of Tingwall, this standing stone is traditionally said to be where Earl Henry of Orkney and his followers killed his cousin Malise Sperra in 1389, probably in a struggle for power in Shetland.
Scalloway
The village of Scalloway is just over 3 km from Tingwall. Local amenities include shops, food and drink, accommodation, toilets.
Scalloway Castle
Scalloway Castle was built by forced labour in 1599 for Earl Patrick Stewart. For the last few years of its existence the thing (which was moved from Tingwall in the early 1570s) was held in the castle’s great hall; the last recorded meeting was in 1608. The castle, now roofless, was occupied for less than 100 years and is now under the care of Historic Scotland and open to the public.
Scalloway Museum
The adjacent Scalloway Museum includes a fascinating display on the wartime exploits of Norway’s ‘Shetland Bus’ heroes, who made the village their secret base in the Second World War.
