Publisher's Synopsis
For well over a century the firm of T. M. Adie and Sons was a major employer in the north mainland of Shetland. This book draws chiefly on the personal recollections of fifty people who, between the years of 1925 and 1991, were all employed by or closely involved with the firm. Childhood memories and stories handed down from previous generations give a glimpse of earlier times, as far back as the 1870s.
