Sandsting

Sandsting is a parish in the West Mainland of Shetland, Scotland, forming a southern arm of the Walls Peninsula.[1][2][3] The parish includes the settlements of Skeld, Westerwick and Culswick.The coast is partly bold, and cavernous; the seaboard is cut into sections by long bays; and the interior is mostly an assemblage of knolls and hillocks, with a profusion of heath and interspersions of moss.The medieval church, which was built no later than the sixteenth century, now stands in ruin.Ting, from the Old Norse Thing, is a reference to an assembly site or meeting place believed to have once been located within the area.
