Shetland

Stenness Sound Walk invites you to explore Stenness beach as it once was – an important fishing station until the late 19th century. A unique, yet elusive, part of Shetland’s heritage.

The soundscape encourages you to re-imagine the beach as a hive of activity, where communities of fishermen and traders made temporary homes over the summer months.
Placed in the landscape are audio fragments of sounds and voices. The readings are taken from observations of early travellers visiting Stenness, and archival documents directly relating to the deep sea, or ‘haaf’ fishing: agreements binding men to the summer fishing, indebtedness, accounts of storms and loss of life, and even what the fishermen bought for their tea – so you will encounter many different voices.
A map of the beach indicates the area containing twenty sound clouds – it’s up to you to discover them.
Made by artists Janette Kerr, Jo Millett, and Rob Gawthrop, in partnership with Ralph Hoyte and Phill Phelps of Satsymph LLP.
