Scottish boys clothes -- Lunnasting Primary School
Individual Scottish Schools: Lunnasting Primary School
Figure 1.--We have archived a 1922 photograph of Lunnasting Primary School in Vidlin village, Shetlands. Vidlin (in Old Norse: Vaðill meant a ford). The Shetlands was a Norse/Scandanavian settlement taken over by the Scotts (13th/14th century). Vidlin was a small village on Mainland, Shetland. It is at the head of Vidlin Voe, and is the modern heart of the old parish of Lunnasting, which was centred on the early church at Lunna on Lunna Nessm hence the name of the school. The Lunnasting stone, with undeciphered Pictish ogham inscription, found nearby. There are about 60 children. The girls wear pinafores over dresses. The boys are wearing knee pamts. Most of the children are barefoot.
