History


The museum began in 1985 under the direction of the local Scalloway History Group. Between 2007 and 2011, an abandoned woollen mill adjacent to Scalloway Castle was restored and converted to house the museum to a plan by Gibson architects. In 2012, the museum reopened in the former mill with an official opening ceremony by the Prime Minister of Norway Jens Stoltenberg.
