	Foula Archaeology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		That Foula is visible from not only the rest of Shetland but also from Westray aids in the rejection of this assumption, for it seems highly unlikely that a clearly visible location should remain untouched for so long.
		The architectural styles to Foula's prehistoric remains are in some cases paralleled throughout Shetland (for example with the morphology of house 37 on the South Ness).
		It may have been the case in the past, as it is today, that Foula is the centre of the world for those who live and work on the island, which creates an entirely reversed notion of the meaning of marginality for those living outside.

	Foula - One of Britain's Most Remote Inhabited Islands \| Visit Shetland
		The Foula mailboat Island Lass was lost in 1962 and the population dropped to 27, but the remaining islanders were so determined to stay they built their own airstrip in the early 1970s.
		Foula folk in the 21st century are determined not to go the same way as St Kilda and plans are under way for a new electricity system from wind and water power.
		Foula is served by a Shetland Islands Council ferry, the New Advance, from the Walls Pier, on the West Mainland.
