This 18th century fishing böd, located on the outskirts of Lerwick, was the birthplace of Arthur Anderson, co-founder of Peninsular and Oriental Stream Navigation Co. - well known today as P&O.  There are displays which detail Anderson’s life, including his business ventures, political career and generous local donations, as well as the history of the böd and the role it played in Shetland’s booming fishing industry in the late 18th and 19th century.

The Böd of Gremista is open Wednesday to Sunday throughout the summer (May - September).  Entry is free, donations welcome.
