George Waterston Memorial Centre and Museum
The George Waterston Memorial Centre and Museum is a local museum in Fair Isle, Scotland.

He bought the island after World War II and co-founded the Bird Observatory in 1948, giving the isle's economy a much-needed boost. In 1955 the National Trust for Scotland succeeded him as landlord and helped islanders to stem emigration and revitalise the community.
