Winter Elsewhere
The Shetland Textile Museum's custodian, Brita, has another life outwith the Böd - she spends the winter at home in Sweden, above the Arctic Circle.
Shetland Textile Museum is a community museum in Shetland – the only one of its kind dedicated to the islands’ textile heritage.
Entry fee is £3. Unlimited access to the Shetland Textile Museum for the season costs £5.
Located at the Böd of Gremista, the Shetland Textile Museum has been a registered Scottish charity since 1997.
