This looks like a great place to visit, but was closed when we were there. You can walk around the outside and get some nice pictures however. Shame it was not open considering it was a Saturday.
The guides are super knowledgeable. This place is a treasure, and the guides are all archeologists. You learn so much!
We hadn't booked the tour but such Information given by James Many thanks
Less extant than the broch in Lerwick, but it's interesting as an archaeological site. The reconstructed house there is excellent (with an actual peat fire). The staff are really lovely !
Very special area,make a special effort to visit.
The tour guide was brilliant and the site was amazing. You have to have a tour and they start at particular times so we had to go away and come back later, so it would have been better to have phoned to check times if we'd had a phone connection.
Good for kids
