Scandinavian Shetland: An Ongoing Tradition? (1978)

These papers, delivered in Lerwick in April 1975 at the third conference of the SSNS, touch on a range of historical, ethnological, and contemporary topics, many of which have been little researched hitherto and many of which have been little publicised.
