Tangwick Haa
Tangwick Haa is an historic house and museum in Esha Ness, Northmavine, Shetland.[1][2][3][4][5] The building has two stories in a rectangular layout and along with the adjacent walled garden is Category B listed.[2]
History
The house was built in the 17th century, circa 1690, for the Cheynes family, who owned land both in Shetland and across Scotland.[1] One of the most prominent members of the family who lived there in early childhood was John Cheyne (1841–1907) who served as a judge. The house is built with thick walls in harling.[3] It was built at a site beside an accessible shingle beach which provided access before the road was built to Northmavine from central Mainland, Shetland.[3]
In 1978 the house was converted into a visitor centre for Northmavine.[3] In 1987 it was converted and opened as a museum.[1]
Collections
The museum contains exhibits on local life as well as a room furnished as a 19th-century laird's room. There are both permanent and temporary exhibitions, as well as a family history record section.[5]
