An Iron Age village, a , a picte village and a Norse village mingle in this captivating and major Shetland site.

It is Shetland's main historical and captivating attraction. Man settled here over 4,000 years ago. Generations have come and gone, improving the dwellings. An Iron Age village, a broch, a Pictish village and a Norse village are intertwined here, as well as the remains of a 15th century mansion built by Patrick Stuart. The visit begins at the Visitors Centre and continues in the heart of the site, which can be explored freely with an audio-guide.

Un peu similaire à Skara Brae
Un peu similaire à Skara Brae, il est également situé en bord de mer près de l'aéroport. La balade jusqu'au phare est magnifique.

Probablement le site archéologique le plus emblématique des îles Shetland!
Situé à proximité de la pointe de Sumburgh (point le plus au sud de l'archipel), ce site retrace quatre époques différentes depuis l'âge de bronze jusqu'au Moyen Age. De là, superbe vue sur les côtes avoisinantes!
De plus si vous arrivez par bus, traversée de la piste de l'aéroport juste avant d'arriver!
