About this spot
Muness Castle is a striking 16th-century tower house located on the island of Unst in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. It is one of the most northerly fortified buildings in Britain and is known for its dramatic setting and well-preserved architecture.
Muness Castle has a long and turbulent history. It was attacked and besieged on several occasions, and it was eventually abandoned in the 18th century. The castle fell into disrepair, but it was restored in the early 20th century and is now managed by Historic Environment Scotland.
