	All about the Area
		Unst is a major European breeding site for seabirds, including gannets, puffins, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes and shags, and for moorland-nesting rarities such as great skuas, Arctic skuas and whimbrels.
		The Unst Boat Haven is Shetland's only museum dedicated to the history of the islands' distinctive wooden boats and the line-fishermen who used them until the early 20th century.
		Most Unst families are still involved with the traditional crafting life depicted here, but there's a variety of other work based on the island's resources and position, such as quarrying, fish farming, craftwork (fine knitwear in particular) wildlife tourism - and a important role in the nation's defences.

		Unst has recently been thrown into something of a crisis by the drastic downsizing of the local RAF radar base at Saxa Vord, which used to employ a third of the island's thousand-strong population.
		On the south coast, not far from the ferry terminal, is UYEASOUND, east of which lie the ruins of Muness Castle, a diminutive defensive structure, built in 1598 with matching bulging bastions and corbelled turrets at opposite corners (keys and torch from the house nearby).
		Unst's main settlement is BALTASOUND, five miles north, whose herring industry used to boost the local population of around five hundred to as much as ten thousand during the fishing season.

	Platinum galore: the remote island of Unst gets ready for a boom in Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		After months of combing Unst, in the Shetland Islands, for signs of mineral deposits, geologists are on the verge of establishing whether the tiny community of 720 people could be sitting on a jackpot of platinum.
		A more thorough analysis is still being performed at the AS Chemex Laboratories in Vancouver, but the inhabitants of Unst are hoping for a very happy 2005, especially because platinum is also the vital component in the island's other pioneering business venture: turning water into hydrogen.
		The main catalyst in the electrolyser which converts the water into hydrogen is made from platinum, so to have a source of the essential ingredient for a new industry on their doorstep could be a great help.
