An Underground Gallery recently discovered in the Island of Tiree
Similar stone-built structures are already known in Lewis, Harris, Uist, and Benbecula; and examples have been found on the mainland in Sutherland, Aberdeen, Inverness, Perth,\r\nand Porfarshire, and in Midlothian and other counties. The entrance opened on to a sloping passageway which was five feet in height. It contracted to a width of only 20 inches at one point and the interior beyond was blocked preventing further investigation. Pottery sher…
A Gold Armlet of the Viking Time discovered in Shetland
The armlet was discovered some years ago in the small isle of Oxna, adjacent to the Burra Isles, on the west side of the southern promontory of the Shetland mainland. The armlet of solid gold, is composed of four strands of the metal, finely polished, and interpleated into a continuous circular chain, broadest at the back opposite where the ends meet, and gradually diminishing in girth towards the points, which are joined together by a flattened …

A Norwegian Conveyance of Land in Shetland, 1537
It has been the practice of the Society to welcome, and to place on record, early documents illustrating life, language, and legal forms in Scotland, and especially such as relate to outlying districts like Shetland, where the local characteristics, due to historic origin and growth, are marked with peculiar distinctness.I therefore presume to submit for record in our Proceedings the following Deed of Conveyance, in the Norse language, of a small…
Some Forgotten Incidents and Personages in the Local History of Shetland
Remote as Shetland is from those influences and activities which have tended to the making of history in the provinces of Scotland in the past, with a scanty population, a poor soil, and limited possibilities in every direction, it is yet astonishing what a wealth of incident and association is found as the reward of patient research in its obscure annals. Formal history has not failed to present the fascinating story of the Norsemen as conqueror…

The Danish Claims upon Orkney and Shetland
I am aware that, in general estimation, to reopen the old question of the claims of Denmark upon the British isles of the North Sea is but to attempt to revivify a dead subject. But, whatever practical value may attach to it as a question of international politics between Great Britain and Denmark, its interest for students of history has not terminated. It is not, however, my intention to argue the question. I am not sure that it would be of any…

all and sundry the isles belonging and pertaining thereto, with all and each of the castles, towers, fortalices, woods, mills, multures, fishings," &c.Subsequent Crown charters were still more full and precise, but interference with private property was none the less arbitrary and illegal.The right to collect the skat from the whole islands, and to acquire a private domain by conquest or confiscation, was doubtless the privilege of the Earls from…
Notice of a Report, preserved in the Charter House of the City of Edinburgh, on the Revenues of the Parochial Benefices of Shetland in the beginning of the Seventeenth Century
A number of years since, I obtained permission to examine the older records and miscellaneous papers of the city of Edinburgh. The object of my inquiry was to ascertain what light might be thrown upon the state of Orkney and Shetland by the papers relating to the period during which the revenues of the Bishopric of Orkney were possessed by the city. It is not generally known that in 1641 the Magistrates and Council obtained from the Crown a lease…
Notice of a Fragment of an Ogham-Inscribed Slab from Shetland
As is now well known, the special area of this remarkable class of monumental inscriptions is Ireland and Wales. Beyond these purely Celtic districts the known examples are extremely rare, and they are confined to places now or formerly under influences of the Celt. Of these examples the Scottish mainland has furnished five, the Orkney Islands one, and Shetland four. These Shetland Oghams are, the Bressay Stone, the St Ninian's Stone, the Lunnast…
Notice of Ancient Legal Documents (Lay and Ecclesiastical) preserved among the Public Records of Shetland
The deeds which I have the honour to submit are a selection from the collection of native papers which have accumulated in the course of centuries in the hands of the public functionaries in Shetland, and which, so far as they have escaped destruction, are now preserved in the new Sheriff Court Buildings in Lerwick. It is surprising that so many papers of interest have come down to the present time, considering the vicissitudes through which the …
Notice of a Sculptured Slab from the Island of Burra, Shetland
This unique monument, now safely deposited in the Museum of the Society, camo under my eye in the course of investigations which I made in the Burra Isles on the occasion of a visit to Shetland in the month of July 1877. Eichly sculptured as it is with a wheel-cross of elegant design, with interlaced ornamentation of Celtic pattern, and a variety of figure subjects carefully executed, it may be ranked among the foremost in interest of the Sculptu…
Notice of a Charter of Confirmation by King Frederick the Third of Denmark and Norway (1662), and other Documents in the Norse Language relating to Shetland
The documents now submitted, seven in number, range in date from the middle of the sixteenth to the early years of the seventeenth century; one, dated in 1607, being the latest known instrument of any kind framed in Shetland or Orkney in the old language of the North. The other deeds in Norse, formerly known as preserved in the Islands, are only nine in number, so far as I am aware. Of the multitude, therefore, of such documents which must have b…
On Rune-Inscribed Relics of the Norsemen in Shetland
The history of the Shetland Islands (in common with that of the Orkneys) divides itself naturally into three distinct periods, viz.:-(I.) The Pictish period, ending about A.D. 870; (II.) the Norse period, from A.D. 870 to A.D. 1468; and (III.) the Scoto-Norse period, from A.V. 1468. It has heen my privilege, owing to incidental discoveries which have come under my eye, to be able to place before the Society on former occasions contemporaneous rel…

On Two Monumental Stones with Ogham Inscriptions Recently Discovered in Shetland
The fact that Ogham-inscribed monuments have been found only in Celtic districts, or in districts where Celtic influences have at one time prevailed, invests with considerable interest the discovery of relics of this description in outlying districts where few Celtic traces now remain. Such is the case in the Shetland Islands, where the Pictish people and language have disappeared before the Scandinavian race and Teutonic dialect, which have held…
Notice of Excavations in a Broch and adjacent Tumuli near Levenwick, in the Parish of Dunrossness, Zetland
