The Foula Reel
Foula is an island that gives the impression of having strayed, like a chick,
so far from the brood of the Shetland islands that it has become lost in the North Atlantic.
A tiny island, only three and one half miles long by two and one half miles broad,
girded with sheer cliffs rising high above the often raging sea and studded with five cone-like hills,
Foula lies sixteen miles west of Mainland, the major island of Shetland.
Shetland, a cluster of one hundred and seventeen islands and islets,
some of them uninhabited,
forms the most northerly part of the United Kingdom.
Originally settled by the Norse,
Shetland, with Orkney to the south, came into Scottish possession
as an unredeemed dowry pledge after the marriage in 1468
of Margaret, daughter of Christian I of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, to James III.
(See “The Axum Reel”)
From the Norse “fuglo”, Foula means “bird island”, an accurate description,
for Foula’s bird population is enormous.
Arctic skuas, bonxies or great skuas, red-throated divers and kittiwakes
make the island an ornithologist’s paradise.
The human population of Foula is very small
and consists chiefly of fishermen who also maintain small crofts.
“The Foula Reel”, or to use its old name “The Shaalds o’ Foula” is a version of the Shetland “Auld Reel”.
