The harbour of Lerwick is the reason for the geographical position of the town of Lerwick , due to the shelter provided by the island of Bressay to Bressay Sound, where the harbour developed. Named by the Vikings, and in later centuries used an anchorage for Dutch and other fishing vessels, trading posts were built on the Mainland side of the Sound, and so the town began.
