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. |
