Last Thursday we visited the museum.  Stewart answered all our questions!  Here are some of the things we found out:

One of the oldest exhibits in the museum is the canon from the Spanish Armada boat called El Gran Grifon.      Harris

We tried to count the number of shipwrecks around the island. We think there were 67 shipwrecks.      Luca

The Vikings came to Fair Isle a very long time ago.      Ander

The rock which Fair Isle is made of is Old Red Sandstone. There is also a seam of calcite which runs from Raeva right across the island.      Luca

The rarest bird on Fair Isle is Chestnut-eared bunting.      Harris

The Heinkel started flying from the North of Germany on a reconnaissance mission. Hurricanes shot it down over Sumburgh Head and it crash landed on Fair Isle. The pilot and one other survived. Stuart and Hollie met the pilot when he came back to visit in 1999. We can see parts of the plane in different places on the island.      Ander
