Lunna House
Description
Stunning hill-top laird's house, built for Robert Hunter of Lunna, Chamberlain of the Lordship of Zetland. It has fine period interiors and detailing, with striking views. An armorial panel commemorates the 1707 marriage of Thomas Hunter and Grisel Bruce.
Lunna has a dramatic history as the first base of the Second World War ‘Shetland Bus’ - by which Norwegian fishing boats sent supplies to the Resistance in Norway and brought back refugees.
