Inside Mousa Broch on the now uninhabited island of Mousa in Shetland. Mousa Broch rises to 13m high and is both magnificent and awe inspiring. It is also by some margin the best preserved of Scotland's 500 or so brochs. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/mousa/mousabroch/index.html

Dun Telve, one of a pair of #brochs on the #GlenElg peninsula.

These remarkable dry stone structures are so well built that they remain standing - but historically they’ve been ‘quarried’ for building stone.

🎵Oh I do like a broch beside the seaside,
I do like a broch beside the sea…🎵
