In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Brindister like this:
Brindister, a voe or bay and a village in Sandsting parish, Shetland. The voe is flanked at the mouth by a headland of its own name; forms a fine open boat harbour; penetrates the land several miles south-westward; and, in its upper part, is called Unifirth. The village stands near the voe's mouth.
Brindister is now part of SHETLAND ISLANDS Council. Click here for graphs and data of how SHETLAND ISLANDS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Brindister itself, go to Statistics.
