Shetland was a bit bigger on whaling (the town I live in was built for the whaling/herring fishing industries). One of my neighbours has loads of harpoons on his walls when you're going up the stairs XD It's a bit creepy! But he's a diver and when he's been diving in the harbour, it's full of loads of whale bones and rubbish that was thrown overboard from whaling ships. Some of it is really cool :)
