Broch of Gurness

Explore this once mighty Iron Age settlement, with a small village arranged around a central, massive broch tower. Defended by two rock-cut ditches and a rampart, this was clearly a place of power. Look across Eynhallow Sound, once lined with brochs, to make out another well-preserved example at Midhowe, and perhaps glimpse minke and killer whales. 1 Apr to 30 Sept: Sat - Mon, Wed & Thu, 10am to 4.30pm.
