The Gunnister Man is the remains of a late 17th or early 18th century man found by two Shetlanders in a peat bog not far from the junction of the A970 road in Gunnister, Shetland, Scotland.[1] The bog body was found on 12 May 1951 as the men were digging peat for fuel.[2] A stone placed by the Northmavine History Group now marks the find location.
