MONDAY 8TH MARCH
Frances Browne, my commissioner, met me for lunch at the restaurant in the most wonderful Shetland Museum and Archives. This building is relatively new, boasting a most interesting a thorough history of Shetland, extensive archives, a wealth of public art, and a fabulous restaurant serving tasty delights with gorgeous views across the water. I saw several seals dipping and diving in the space of a few minutes.
Frances took me on a whistle stop tour of Lerwick, Shetland’s capital town, and then we attended a meeting at Olnafirth Primary School with Madge Peters, the acting head teacher, where we discussed the inns and outs of the project.
