<dc:title>Unst Heritage Centre</dc:title>
<dc:description>&lt;p&gt;This building in Haroldswick Unst provided education in the area from 1880s to 1997. In the early days classes were conducted in three class rooms. The rooms had connecting doors and high windows.The adjoining house and garden once the home of the headteacher is now private. About 1988 the basic toilets were demolished to make room for a single story extension. The pupils and staff benefited from new toilets, a staff room and a spacious classroom. Pupil numbers decreased and in 1997 all pupils were enrolled at Baltasound school. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the 1980s, a few enthusiasts realised that the way of life linked to the old methods of crofting and fishing was changing quickly and they established a small Heritage Centre. After some years, their collection was relocated to the now redundant Haroldswick school. Today the Heritage Centre is an accredited museum and a 3 Star Visitor Attraction.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
