From $ 90
Spend the day exploring Mousa Island, an uninhabited slice of natural paradise.
It's possible you'll spot the shy Common and Grey seals in the shallow pools that dot Mousa Island. But it's certain you'll see Mousa Broch, the biggest and best preserved Iron Age fortification in the British Isles. This enormous stone tower leaves a striking impression along the edge of the rocky coastline where it sits. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes as you trek across this island rich in both history and biodiversity.
