From Wikipedia
Scalloway (Shaetlan pronunciation: [ˈskaɫəwə] SKA-lə-wə; Old Norse: Skálavágr, name of the bay) is the largest settlement on the west coast of the Mainland, the largest island of Shetland, Scotland. The village had a population of roughly 900, at the 2011 census. Now a fishing port, until 1708 it was the capital of the Shetland Islands (now Lerwick, on the east coast of the Shetland Mainland). It contains one of the two castles built in Shetland; this one was constructed in 1600. Nearby are the Scalloway Islands, which derive their name from the village.
