Description

Mousa broch, which is about 2000 years old, is the finest surviving example of an Iron Age broch, or tower. Over 100 brochs were built all over Shetland but later generations dismantled them for their good building stones. Mousa broch survived because of its remote location, and perhaps because it was always a remarkable sight.
Every summer the hundreds of tourists who visit the island of Mousa to see the broch, are ferried across from the Mainland on the Solan IV, the ferry operated by Tom Jamieson

Mousa is a fantastic place, Tom Jamieson is my uncle and although I used to come up to shetland to visit almost every year, I haven't been up now for 7 years and miss it a lot!
