    Tips

    August 17, 2023

    Muness Castle is a splendid example of tower house architecture, and it’s full of delightful touches. Here it’s easy to appreciate how the family, servants and visitors would have used the internal space of the castle.



    It was built for Laurence Bruce of Cultmalindie – a prominent figure during a turbulent time in Shetland. Accused of oppression of the Shetland people, Bruce is also portrayed as heroic in some legends.
