Burgi Iron Age Fort

After having temps of 14 degrees earlier in the week this weekend has gone very cold and down to 3 degrees with occasional snow and hail showers with strong winds

If you walk out from Scatness to Burgi, you have an easy walk for most of the way. There is plenty to look at with many Second World War remains and lochs holding many birds

Looking west from Burgi as the Norrona heads north from Norway to Iceland, now it no longer calls in Shetland which is a great shame

Remains of the Fort

The Fort is about 1 mile SW of Scatness carpark, on flat ground for the most although you will have to go along a rocky area using a metal chain for support. Its well worth the trip at any time of year.

Looking back towards Scatness

I now have my Canvas and mounted prints for sale in Hoswick visitors centre which has just reopened after a major refurbishment. See www.amazingshetland.co.uk
