Another fantastic (7 mile)coastal peninsula walk around No Ness with L from the Mousa Ferry museum/waiting room at Leeboten . Farmers out on this hill busy dealing with the constant arrival of new spindly lambs. After summit a detour to the substantial remains of the iron age Broch of Burraland, superbly situated on narrow necked headland. This would once have been a twin to the famous Mousa broch across the sound - in clear view from here - but many stones were taken to help build the buildings over to the left - now themselves ruins. I crawled into the hollow inside one of the walls -tempted to have a nap as still sleep starved - after last night's 2am to 6.40am Coastguard call out to search for a missing person (later found OK). Both brochs are made from the ideal smooth building rock found here - flaggy Old Red Sandstone -which being tilted here gives some fine slabby low cliffs. Onwards along the rising grassy cliff tops accompanied by the coasting fulmers. | Chris Pearson | 25/04/2021 |

Gratuitous tump bagging with nice views from the barn just below the Wart. There's a stile over the top fence. | Gill | 29/08/2018 |
A quickbag after Mousa. Parked almost at end of the road to Wart. Took a direct line to the top - handy stile in the stock fencing halfway up. ***Re-visited 14 Jun 2019. | jonglew | 29/08/2018 |
