Sandsting is a parish in the West Mainland of Shetland forming a southern arm of the Walls Peninsula. After the parish of Aithsting was annexed into Sandsting in the sixteenth century, it became known as Sandsting and Aithsting parish. 〔(''Parish of Sandsting'' (Scotland's places) )〕 〔(''Sandsting and Aithsting'' (Vision of Britain) )〕 〔(''Sandsting parish (Shetland)'' (Saints in Scottish Place-Names) )〕 ==Summary== The parish includes the settlements of Skeld, Westerwick and Culswick. It contains the islands of Vementry and Papa Little together with a number of smaller islets, on the south side of St Magnus Bay, and comprehends a mainland district of about ten miles by eight between that bay and Scalloway Bay. The coast is partly bold, and cavernous; the seaboard is cut into sections by long bays; and the interior is mostly an assemblage of knolls and hillocks, with a profusion of heath and interspersions of moss. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=''Overview of Sandsting'' )〕〔(''Sandsting'' (Shetland Family History Society) )〕 Antiquities include standing stones, burial monds and Old Norse fortifications, as well as church ruins and burial grounds. St Mary's Chapel in Sandsting was once the main church for the parish of Sandsting. The medieval church, which was built no later than the sixteenth century, now stands in ruin.〔(''St Mary's Chapel by Sand'' (Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sandsting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
