Conningsburgh, a hamlet and an ancient parish in the S of Shetland. The hamlet lies on the E coast of the mainland, 9 miles SSW of Lerwick, and has a Free church. The parish, extending across the mainland from Aiths Voe to Cliff Sound, is bounded N by Lerwick parish; it contains a ridge of eminences, running nearly parallel with the coast-lines, and called the Conningsburgh Hills; and it is now annexed quoad civilia to Dunrossness, and quoad sacra to Sandwick.
