The brilliant, community-run Heritage Centre at Haroldswick illustrates Unst's status as the home of Shetland fine lace knitting, and has some wonderful displays, including one for this year relating to Unst's role in World War One. Open now and an absolute must-see if you're in Unst. Look out for the workshops and demonstrations. The website is here.
