Busta House was once owned by Shetland's most prosperous merchant, yet a family tragedy precipated it into a ruinous court case which left the owner bankrupt, and his heirs dispossessed. This is the story of the house from the earliest records to the present day. It ends with an account of the 'ghost of Busta'. Marsali Taylor is the author of 'Women's Suffrage in Shetland' and regularly writes historical pieces for the magazine Shetland Life. She is a teacher and tour guide.
