Statement of Interest

A Group with Lunna House, Fishing Booth, Folly, Gothick Cottage, Lunna Harbour, St Margaret's Kirk, Steading, Walled Garden, and West Gates. Despite the alterations to the wing, this is a particularly fine example of traditional Shetland building practice, and a historic element on the northern side of the designed landscape at Lunna.
