Burraland broch in Shetland is located on a promontory at the eastern coast of Shetland. The outer wall-face is preserved on all of the tower’s perimeter, there are also remains of a gallery (possibly intra-mural staircase) and the entrance. Around the broch there are remains of outbuildings.

Canmore.
