BOBBY'S BUS SHELTER UNST 1 B The Unst Bus Shelter, also known as Bobby's Bus Shelter, is bus shelter and bus stop near the village of Baltasound, on the isle of Unst, Shetland, Scotland. It is maintained by the Shetland Islands Council and is located on the main road along Unst - the A968 - which runs between Belmont and Haroldswick.
It even has its own website at www.unstbusshelter.shetland.co.uk
The name "Bobby's Bus Shelter" honours Bobby Macaulay, a child who used to cycle to the shelter in the mornings to catch the bus to school. The local council had plans to remove the bus shelter, but after the seven-year-old sent them a letter asking them not to and explaining that the shelter is where he kept his bike while at school, the council relented and left it there.
In one year the bus shelter’s visitor book was signed by people from 45 different countries.
When tour busses come to the island, the Unst bus shelter is the one essential stop.
