Being immersed in island life, as one of over 100 residents at that time, he developed what was to become a lifelong passion for preserving the island’s rich heritage. In the late 1980s George produced a series of articles for Shetland Life and was encouraged to collate these into a book which became the original Coastal Place-names of Papa Stour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough his engaging style, the author takes readers on a clockwise tour of the island’s coast, pausing to explore possible origins of the place-names and interlacing fragments of long-forgotten social history spanning hundreds of years. This edition is illustrated with new colour photographs throughout and a hand-drawn map.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorge P.S. Peterson’s original hope was that “this little book will perpetuate the Papa coastal place-\u003cbr\u003enames and that the stories connected with some will be found interesting”. With that in mind, it is\u003cbr\u003epresented for the enjoyment of a new audience and as a lasting tribute to the author.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGeorge PS Peterson\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEdited by Peter WK Peterson\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA5 Paperback  110 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Shetland Times Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55915132879229,"sku":"9781910997642","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2996\/3458\/files\/CoastalPlaceNamesofPapaStourCOVER.jpg?v=1746113473","url":"https:\/\/www.openbookcoffee.live\/products\/the-coastal-place-names-of-papa-stour","provider":"The Shetland Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
