Parish of Walls -- Shetland,
[signed] James Stuart C/a [Civilian assistant]
Walls [note] (The Name is still in Shetland pronounced Waas, probably from the Norse Vagr, a bay or voe, corrupted into Waa or Way; & "Waa" being Scotch for Wall, the modern name has thus become Walls. The same has occurred in Kirkwall, the capital or Orkney, whose Norse name was Kirkju-vagr, or Church-bay) JTH
