A Place of Time
There is an extraordinary sensation as you step ashore on Mousa that you have come to a special place. A place where you can see and feel the ages of time with its archaeological sites, desolate ruins and most famously the Mousa Broch – the best preserved Iron Age tower in existence, where the visitor can still climb the staircase to marvel at the commanding view and workmanship of this 2000 year-old building. The broch is truly legendary featuring in a couple of the old Norse Sagas as a place of captivity and hiding, and in comparatively more recent times as the secret store for smugglers.

Mousa (“Mossy Island” in Old Norse) today is an RSPB Nature Reserve with important breeding colonies of seals and seabirds including the diminutive storm petrel, hundreds of which have made their home within the mighty broch walls. There are many opportunities for visitors to observe a range of plant and wildlife including some quite rare species, and you may even be fortunate enough to catch sight of an elusive otter or passing whale!

Mousa has many stories to tell in its long history some of which may be myths, but one thing we do know, a visit to this delightful island will have a special place in your memory for a long time to come.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR GUESTS - ON SITE PARKING 🚙🚙

Firstly, we wish to emphasise how grateful we are to everyone who has booked with us since opening. This includes the many locals who have booked short stays with us.......you are much valued and hugely important to our business.

With all 3 pods now in place there will be times, during busy periods such as the upcoming Easter holidays, when the site is full and parking will be at a premium. We have one reserved parking space per pod and these spaces are marked with signs displaying the pod names. Its very important that guests only park in their designated pod parking bay and do not park in the spaces reserved for guests staying in the other pods. Also, please do not park in the turning head in front of the shed as this will restrict access to the reserved parking spaces.

We have an overspill car park to the north of the shed which can currently take two cars, and we plan to extend this in the near future to include a third parking space. This will give us six parking spaces in total (two per pod). So, we politely request that guests come in as few cars as possible and certainly no more than two cars per pod.

Finally, whilst visitors are welcome, they must not park in the three reserved spaces and ideally the maximum two cars per pod mentioned above would include visiting cars. We simply do not have room for multiple cars per pod.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation 😊

***** ACCESSIBLE GLAMPING *****

Our third (and final!) glamping pod "Tirrick" arrived on site in July last year. Aware of a shortage of accessible accommodation available for short-term let in Shetland, we took the decision to make Tirrick accessible.

Like Maalie and Shalder pods, Tirrick can sleep up to six persons with a double bed, bunks and a sofa bed but with a larger floor area to accommodate accessible needs. The pod offers wheelchair access and includes level entry, wide doors, full wet room with grab rails, and minimum 1.5m turning circles for freedom of movement inside. Outside there is an accessible picnic table, whilst gravel grids ensure the chipped path between the car park and the decking ramps is suitable for wheelchair users.

Tirrick can be booked by anyone, with or without accessible needs, and the nightly rate is the same as Maalie and Shalder pods. A mobile hoist (sling not included) and mobile shower chair is available to hire free of charge as bookable extras in Tirrick if required.

Thanks to Marcus Leslie, Keith Cruickshank, Ness Engineering Ltd and Alan Adamson AA Fencing for the site prep works, and to Lune Valley Pods for supplying us with another high quality pod. Thanks also to Duncan Feather, Jim-Duncan Feather (JDF Electrical), Duncan Burgess, John Leask and Stevie Bruce for the work needed to get the pod ready for bookings once sited. Finally, thanks to Stephanie Bain of Ability Shetland for all her help and advice during the planning stage 😊
