Abstract
At the beginning of the 1970's one of the most peripheral parts of the British Isles, by the end of the decade it could be argued that Shetland, because of oil, had become one of the most central places in the economic geography of Britain. This article describes some of the changes that have occured in the social and economic organisation of one Shetland community between 1971 and 1979.
