Talk:Scalloway Castle

Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia

I don't understand the rationale for removing the Notable Shetland Buildings tag for this and Muness Castle? Both are buildings, albeit ruinous, and decidedly notable.

Reason for change is that the Notable buildings Category, as it was, was getting too big, and all types of buildings were clumped together under one heading. Now buildings are being slotted into sub-categories, but still under the overall heading of the Notable buildings category.
We've found from experience that it has been better to try to use sub-categories.
Possibly wrong, but it seemed to make sense.
I suppose that the obvious explanation would be that The Shetland Hotel, or the Esplanade Toilets, could be called notable buildings, because they are architectural carbuncles, but we don't exactly want to see them on the same page as Scalloway Castle, or Muness Castle. ;-)
