Weisdale Mill & Bonhoga Gallery
Bonhoga Gallery, Weisdale Mill
A 19th-century grain mill converted into a Shetland arts centre showing contemporary art and local crafts.
Weisdale Mill was built in 1855 in the Weisdale valley and was converted in 1994 into Bonhoga Gallery, the arts and crafts centre of Shetland. It regularly hosts exhibitions of contemporary art, photography and knitting. The shop sells works by local artists, and the café downstairs overlooks the stream. The Weisdale valley nearby is one of the few wooded areas in the islands. Admission is free, and the gallery is closed on Mondays. It is about 20 kilometers from Lerwick.
