The Broch of Mousa alone is worth the hassle to get to Shetland. A broch is a structure protecting its owner agains sporadic raiding but it was probably built for prestige as well. They were widely spread in Scotland around the year 0. A broch has double-skinned drystone walls with space for little rooms or stairs in-between. The one on the little island of Mousa is complete and stands to its original height of 13 m. You can climb the starts and get to the top. Even Earl Harold found it hard to capture in 1153.
But before we get to Mousa we start at Stanydale "Temple", a structure that probably wasn't a temple but its use is unknown. It was built around 3000 to 2000 BC.
Next is Loch of Strom with very scant ruin remains on a tiny island.
Clickhimin is another broch with later additions. It rises to the more typical height in its ruined state of 2 to 3 meters.
After Mousa which is reached once a day (weather permitting) with a boat seating 60 (and lots of American tourists!) you'll see Fort Charlotte in Lerwick. Best viewed from a drone of course.

Amazing compilation Depp.    The Mousa Broch is quite impressive.  One can only imagine how many stones and how long it took to build.  For its age it is in incredibly good shape.

Thank you, DRBD!
Yes, it's in a great shape, especially if you consider how badly all the others are.
It was quite a lovely boat ride back, chatting with those American ladies.

Even a grey drizzly day in the Highlands and Islands can look fantastic from a drone's perspective, Depp.  Great work.

Thank you, yes, they do. And there was quite a bit of sun in-between.
Did you recognize Teaser #2 and #5?

Thank you.
Yes, I highlighted one because it wasn't easily recognizable.
