034 ; 035 ; 040 ; 041 | "Separated from Sandness by Papa Sound, upwards of a mile in breadth, is the island of Papa Stour. The island derives it's name from Stour, a Norse word signifying great, and the Latin papa, a priest. It thus signifies the great island of the priests, in contradistinction to Papa Little, and the still smaller island of Papa, in the Bay of Scalloway. Papa Stour is upwards of two miles in length, and nearly the same breadt. The coast is much indented by Voes, which form very good harbours. This island is one of the most fertile in the Shetland group. Its inhabitants (amounting in 1871 to 351), are almost entirely confined to the rich belt of cultivated land, which runs along the east side. Papa forms an excellent fishing station. In addition to its own natives, several boat crews resort thither in summer, to prosecute this important industry. The precipitous west coast of Papa affords highly intersting rock scenery.
