1892 Zetland County Council election
The second elections to Zetland County Council were held in November 1892 as part of the wider 1892 local elections. According to the Shetland Times the elections attracted little interest. The council had twenty five seats, and 21 of these were witnessed no contests. Seven of the unopposed councillors were new, whilst the seats of Walls South and Fetlar saw no candidates coming forward. The four seats contested were North Unst, Tingwall, Delting North, and Dunrossness.[1]
The new council was dominated by members of Lerwick's middle class, with 9 merchants, 4 ministers, and 3 solicitors. Only three councillors; Bruce, Gifford, and A J Hay, represented landed interests.[1]
