What a treat to walk this small, but not too small, island and take in the flora, fauna, and water views. Approaching the huge broch was amazing and the view from the top not to be missed! Imagine life 2200 years ago! How peaceful to sit and enjoy your lunch while absorbing the unspoiled beauty of the island. The father and son running the boat ride to Mousa are extremely knowledgeable so if you get a chance to chat, (perhaps when gathering for the departure to the mainland), don't hesitate. The planned time on the island of close to 2 1/2 hours was just right.

Unless there is an event on, there's not much to see, but it is worth stopping to see what's there! The stained glass is really impressive. Just enter and walk up to the second floor to have a look.

What an incredible amenity this place is. I was lucky enough to attend a first class folk music concert and was hugely impressed with the accoustics , the lighting and the way that the place just effortlessly transforms to fit so many uses. A really good bar helps as well, although they could do with more staff.

A typical 18th-century fishing booth, which served as both the family home and a fish store.
