Shetland Day 2 - Mousa Broch

Mousa is a small uninhabited island, which mainly serves as a nature reserve. There you can find the Broch of Mousa, which is preserved almost in its entirety. The Mousa Boat takes you across for a few hours from April to September, before the stormy winter season begins. We were able to watch birds and seals from the distance and enjoyed the circular walk along the beautiful cliffs before the boat took us back to the mainland of Shetland. ☟☟☟

I love that you got to go there! What an amazing, magical place! I, too, can't help thinking about these ancestors who built it so long ago. Thank you!

[@OnMistyMountains]

Yes! I feel pretty lucky. It was a very memorable holiday. 😊

Sailed the coastline and Islands of Scotland for years in a converted fishing boat always wanted to visit the Bench but always something else to visit
so enjoyed this,well done first class.

You would get a whole different perspective of Scotland, seeing it mainly from the water. That sounds like an amazing adventure. 😁

much resemblence with the nuraghis in sardinië !

[@darrinmcgann]

I can't help thinking of the people that used to live there.

I certainly was trying to imagine what life was like when I was walking through the broch. Everything is so small and compact. The people who built this broch (and Jarlshof) were probably much smaller in stature. That's some great workmanship though, to think this is all stone with no mortar. 😊
