About Symbister
Symbister is the largest village and port on Whalsay, an island in the Shetland Islands of Scotland, with a population of 797 recorded in 1991. The village centres around its bustling harbour, accommodating both small fishing boats and larger deep-sea trawlers. Notably, Symbister House, a granite mansion built in 1823 by the Sixth Robert Bruce of Symbister, adds historical significance to the area, which is also referred to as Bay of Symbister or Symbister Old Harbour. This vibrant community offers unique opportunities for planning applications related to maritime activities and heritage conservation.
