Well-preserved remains of a 13m prehistoric fortified stone tower, a nesting site for storm petrels.
Wonderful building with a great history. So ancient. Watching and listening to the Storm Petrels was pretty amazing.
Unforgettable worth doing the circuit of island too. Sensible to bring a torch for inside of Brooch.
Lovely experience on Mousa. Despite the wind and the swell (causing a somehow bumpy crossing) going to Mousa was quite straightforward and safe. The island is of moderate size, easy to walk around and explore. Clear posts marking the way helped me keep on path and it was easy to get to the Broch. Possible to get inside and climb to the top - careful with the steps as they are very narrow. There are torchlights in a cupboard that can be used to help going up (and down). Great views from the top, even with some clouds on the horizon. Some ruins scattered that fascinate me: I love to imagine how it would be to live in a place like this, with the sound of the wind for company and surrounded by the sea
So amazing! A great visit and I can't believe we could climb up such ancient steps.
Really informative boat trip there and back with plenty of opportunity for photos of the Broch from the boat. Fantastic weather helped too!
Makes a great day trip if you have a boat. The Broch is in fantastic condition. Well worth the effort to visit.
