What is recorded here

Foula is shown as a island on the public map of Shetland Islands. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Foula is the northernmost island of the Shetland Islands, historically known for its remote and isolated community of Norse descent. The island is notable for its unique cultural traditions, including the now-extinct Foula dialect of Norn, and for being one of the last places in the British Isles where a traditional Norse-based way of life persisted into the 20th century.
