A rich history

The Kirk’s rich history spans the generations. It is believed that it may date back as far as the 1100s as a place of Christian worship. It is by far the oldest working church in Shetland. And, today, its congregation and many visitors still find Lunna Kirk a place of great historic and spiritual importance.
