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.

Did you know there are three known #brochs in southern Scotland - including the magnificently sited Bow Castle, near Stow? #ScottishBorders #archaeology #scottishhistory

The Glen Elg #Brochs are impressive as well.
Been to Mousa and the location made it impregnable. The entrance 20ft from a cliff edge and a 360 view so nobody was ever going to surprise them. Had a walk round the Island and the Broch was always in view. Very impressed.
