The Mousa Boat will stop running trips to the island from July 30 for the remainder of the 2022 season due to the closure of the broch.

From Saturday, July 30, the Mousa boat will stop running for the remainder of the 2022 season. Mousa’s famous Iron Age broch is also being closed by Historic Environment Scotland until mid-October.

The saga also mentions Vikings in the broch of Mousa. It recounts the tale of a certain Erland who abducts Margaret, the mother of Earl Harold Maddadson, and takes her from Orkney to Shetland.
