Levenwick, like all of Shetland, is rich in the remains of our past. Near to Mucklehus, the mounded cemetery is early Christian, situated in a typical Norse location at the end of a sandy beach. About a mile south of Netherton, on the rocky coastline, is Levenwick Broch, one of Shetland’s many such structures dating from about 2000 years ago. The south mainland also offers internationally important archeological sites such as Mousa Broch, Jarlshof and Old Scatness. More recent history is in evidence at the Shetland Croft Museum, Quendale Mill, Leebitton Boat Shed and the Hoswick Visitor Centre, which are all within a 15 minute drive of Mucklehus.
