The original survey of the Western Shetland area was carried out between 19 by the late G. The descriptions in the present Memoir, however, exclude that part of the map which lies to the east of the Walls Boundary Fault and which is more properly treated in connexion with the Central Shetland (128) Sheet. This means that it has been possible to include the whole of the Walls Peninsula of Shetland and its adjacent islands. The Western Shetland map comprises Sheet 127 of the one-inch-to-one-mile Geological Survey series together with parts of sheets 125, 126 and 128. The Institute of Geological Sciences was formed by the incorporation of the Geological Survey of Great Britain and the Museum of Practical Geology with Overseas Geological Surveys and is a constituent body of the Natural Environment Research Council Preface First published 1976.© Crown copyright 1976.
