Farming on Trondra
Farming on Trondra
The small island of Trondra is little over a square mile in area. It is one of the Scalloway Islands, a subgroup of the Shetland Islands. During the early and middle parts of the twentieth century, Trondra’s population was shrinking, reaching an all-time low of 20 (LinkExternal link The Scottish Islands, Haswell-Smith). It has recovered somewhat since the 1970s when road bridges were built to neighbouring Burra (West and East) and to the southern peninsula of the Shetland Mainland.
