The Unst Bus Shelter, also known as Bobby's Bus Shelter, is a famous bus shelter and bus stop near the village of Baltasound, on Unst, Shetland. It is maintained by the Shetland Islands Council. It represents, among other things, a spontaneous social movement to institute non-traditional infrastructure, by the means of traditional government.
It is located on the the main road along Unst - the A968 - which runs between Belmont and Haroldswick. Coordinates: 60.765158 North, 0.835087 West.
The shelter is equipped with a sofa, a television, a computer etc. It is furnished and refurbished each year by local residents with a sofa, television, computer and other home comforts.[1] The bus shelter is named after 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 he sent them a letter asking them not to and explaining that the shelter is where he kept his bike while at school, the council left it there and furnished it. Every year, the shelter is redecorated in accordance with what is going on in Bobby's life. In 2009 the shelter was decorated in pink to represent the fact that Bobby was working for a Breast Cancer charity.
