Weisdale Mill

It is located near the head of Weisdale Voe on the west of the island, a twenty-minute drive from the main town of Lerwick.

With very little in the way of transport people walked long distances with their crops which then had to be left at the mill and collected at a later date.

The butcher shop and slaughter house were very busy particularly during the war years when large numbers of men from the forces were stationed at Scatsta.

Anderson also ran a large walk-in butcher van which visited many areas of Shetland daily selling beef and lamb.

During the war the mill was reputedly hit by enemy fire and some bullets came in the back door which was open at the time.
