Old Haa, New Street, Scalloway
Category A Listed former laird's house of about 1750, now transformed into three town house apartments for long or short term letting. One of Shetland's finest haa houses. The armorial panel over the doorway commemorates the marriage of James Scott and Katherine Sinclair in 1750. On the buildings at risk register from 1990 it was vacant due to a legal dispute. Conversion to flats was started in 1995 but remained unoccupied and purchased by Scalloway Waterfront Trust in 2001. Restored externally in 2003 it remained unoccupied. Purchased by a private developer around 2006-2008 the interior renovation was completed in 2015.

German theories controverted
This curious feature was engraved on the wall of a house in New Street in 1910 by William Johnson, a Scalloway stonemason and amateur scientist:
"This diagram illustrates the cause of the so called Earth Tides. Also each alternate Ocean Flood, the cause of which has never yet been understood. Re Earth Tides: we are told that the Moon raises the solid surface of the Earth under it about 8 inches and raises the OPPOSITE SIDE 8 [inches]. This I hold to be impossible. The phenomenon called EARTH TIDES IS CAUSED BY EARTH's WEIGHT PULLING AGAINST THE SUN'S ATTRACTION.
............
"The water flows back when attraction over & forms a heap on opposite side of Earth. to balance attn. flood. There is no ..." [the rest of the inscription is illegible and appears to have been deliberately effaced.]
