The Burland Croft and Scalloway Museum

By Nancymccarroll
We visited Tommy and Mar Isbister's croft.  The link to their croft is here: http://www.burlandcrofttrail.co.uk.  A croft is a small area of land used for food production.  Background reading gave an excellent overview of how crofting developed centuries ago through the book The Crofter and the Laird  by John Mcafee.
