Mousa Broch, Shetland Islands
Mousa Broch is the finest surviving Iron Age broch. It is 13.3 metres high. Brochs have an inner and outer drystone wall
with stone staircase between. Archeologists and historians are still debating how brochs were roofed and what the
inner structures were. Only the stone is left—any wood is long gone. The purpose of brochs is also debated.
