Full StoryMichelle, you asked about Shetland lace and I just found the film (below) on Youtube which shows you how it is produced ie with knitting needles rather than lace bobbins, plus some history of the islands and traditions.
Notice the soft accent of the narrator, much less harsh than the lowland Scots and with marked sibilation at the end of each word.
At the end of the piece you may note the lack of 'Scottish' names among those interviewed! Many of the Shetland names end in 'son' 'sun'.
Hunt around on Youtube for similar eg's of life in the Northern Isles.
