About Bridge of Walls
Bridge of Walls is a small settlement located in the Shetland Islands, within the historic county of Shetland, Scotland. Situated on the west coast of the Mainland, it lies just south of the larger village of Scalloway and is accessible via the A970 road. The area is known for its coastal scenery and traditional Shetland architecture, with several stone-built houses and a few modern homes. The name derives from a historic bridge that once connected the two sides of the Walls Water, a small stream that flows through the settlement. The bridge itself is no longer in use, but the site remains a local landmark. The surrounding landscape features grassy fields and rocky outcrops, typical of the Shetland environment. The postcode area ZE2 covers the region, and the settlement is part of the parish of Dunrossness. It is a quiet place, with a small population and a strong sense of community.
