UK's best ruins
Mousa Broch, Shetland, Scotland Brochs are rather mysterious. Built during the Iron Age, these freestanding, fortified dry-stone towers are a unique ancient feature of northern and western Scotland – but no one knows quite what they were used for. The Mousa Broch is the best-preserved broch, on the deserted isle of Mousa, and stands 13 metres high. It was built around 100BC with incredibly thick walls, containing chambers that were used for storage – the outer diameter is 15 metres, but the inner diameter is just six metres. You can walk to the top for wonderful views over Mousa Sound. To get here, take a Mousa Boat Trips ferry from Sandwick. More info:
