Hoswick
Hoswick (pronounced Hoh-sic) is a village in the south mainland of Shetland, on the West of the parish of Sandwick. It is separated from the rest of Sandwick by the Hoswick burn and from Channerwick in the south by the hill on which the village is situated. ==History==
The settlement most probably grew as a fishing island in its own right, drying and curing fish on Hoswick beach, then many residents subsequently worked from the nearby fishing station on the mainland at Broonie's Taing which was at its height in the early 1900s but had declined by the late 1930s. Hoswick isle was also home to a Shetland tweed weaving industry post WW2, but this came to an end in the 1980s and the Visitor Centre (cafe and museum) is housed in one of the former weaving sheds. The tweed industry was developed by LJ Smith, who also built up a substantial knitwear industry based on home knitters but served from premises in Hoswick.
