	Whalsay in the Shetland Island Group
		Whalsay is a principal centre of the Shetland fishing industry and the long fishing tradition is one of the themes of the Hanseatic Booth at Symbister, which tells the story of Shetland's links with the Hanseatic League.
		This house on the island of Whalsay was where Hugh MacDiarmid, arguably the greatest Scottish poet of his generation, lived from 1935 to 1942.
		The Whalsay Golf Club, situated at Skaw at the North East point of the island, is 6009 yards, par 70, and standard scratch 70.

		Whalsay lies off the east coast of Shetland's Mainland and is reached by a regular 30 minute ferry link to Laxo, a little east of Voe.
		Whalsay today is a thriving community largely because of a relatively new fishing phenomenon, the pelagic trawler.
		It is possible that Whalsay residents focused on the sea because of problems on the land.

		Here the source of imagery for the structure clearly comes from the surrounding environment, reflecting the movement of wind and waves, the surface perhaps bringing to mind the synchronised motion of fish swimming in a shoal.
		People living on the island of Whalsay know the sea as a giver and taker, and live with the shadow of what may be lost in pursuit of their livelihoods.
		The structure is intended to act as a portal or vector, via which a person may engage more closely with the place, and consequently with their own relationship to their environment.

	The Scotsman - Scotland - Cloud over 'millionaires island' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Shetland, and Whalsay in particular, will suffer more than any other fishing community in Scotland under the scheme, which will result in a total of 69 white fish boats being scrapped in a bid to save the North Sea’s fragile cod stocks.
		News of the price being paid by the fishermen of Whalsay sent shockwaves through the tightly-knit community yesterday as the enormity of the scrapping scheme’s impact on the island was revealed.
		Josie Simpson, the councillor for Whalsay and a retired skipper who is also chairman of the Shetland Fishermen’s Association, said that the loss of the boats, and the jobs dependent on a thriving white fish fleet, would have a devastating effect on the island’s economy.
