Archaeological Sites & Ruins

Shetland’s landscape is defined by stone structures spanning three millennia. This collection features the world’s best-preserved Iron Age round tower, the Broch of Mousa, alongside the extensive excavations at Old Scatness and the restored Clickimin Broch. Beyond prehistoric sites, the list covers medieval defensive architecture like Scalloway Castle and Muness Castle—the UK’s most northerly castle—and the 18th-century artillery bastions of Fort Charlotte. Distinctive ruins like the Funzie Girt dividing wall on Fetlar provide unique evidence of early land management across the islands.
