Bruce Crescent, Lerwick
I assume the style of these houses is deliberately intended to reflect the style of many of the old harbourside buildings in Lerwick.

Lerwick rooftops from North Staney Hill
The grey roofs in the foreground belong to houses called the Vadill, which are named after a Vadill (shallow wading place) which was formerly on the site, before land was reclaimed.

Grantfield Garage, Lerwick
Also in the photo is the first roundabout to be built in Shetland. When it was built in the 1990s there were several weeks of adverts in the local newspaper telling people how to use it.

Da Vadill, North Road, Lerwick
Newly-built housing, with brightly-coloured doors. A vadill is a place where a houb or voehead can be crossed by wading at low tide, and the name was chosen by Damien Ristori of Lerwick Community Council to remember the Vadill that was formerly at this site, before the Lerwick docks and quays extended further out into Bressay Sound. A view of the former Vadill can be seen here http://photos.shetland-museum.org.uk/image.php?i=38376&r=2&t=4&x=1

Lerwick from North Staney Hill
Skipidock is just visible on the left, with the bright red of the Toll Clock Shopping Centre just left of centre. The coastguard building on the Knab is on the horizon on the far right. Bressay is in the background. For a similar view from early in the 20th century see http://photos.shetland-museum.org.uk/image.php?i=35686&r=2&t=4&x=1.
