Mousa Broch is located on the uninhabited island of Mousa, a mile or so off the east coast of Shetland's Mainland. Access is by passenger boat.

All agree that Mousa Broch is the finest surviving example of a broch in Scotland. Built some 2,000 years ago in the Iron Age from sandstone, it stands 42 feet high and measures 49 feet at the base tapering to 39 feet at the top. The walls are almost 15 feet thick. There are three large cells within the wall, and a stone staircase is also inside the wall.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
