Greetings
I have just started re-searching my family history and my Grandfather, James Scott was born in Shapinsay in 1888, eventually immigrating to Canada at age 22. I'm looking forward to visiting Orkney and specifically Shapinsay, when's a good time to visit?

Cheers

Hi Don,

The summer! The big event on the island is the Shapinsay Agricultural Association show which is on 10 August this year. Good luck with your search. There are a lot of records at the Heritage Centre on the island. The centre is open daily during the summer.
