The building was constructed by Scalloway Waterfront Trust in 2001 on the site of the oldest building in the village. It consists of a combined 'clean' working area and living space which is located on the upper level and a stone-walled basement for more 'dirty' work. There is a walled paved area outside which directly overlooks the sea.

To book The Booth, or for further information on how to be eligible to use the space, visit the Wasps website.
