Culswick Methodist Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

A very remote chapel indeed! Stone exterior and a wood-panelled interior with a very ornate looking harmonium.

Broch of Brough and Loch of the Brough

Highlight • Historical Site

The valley floor was once a sea loch, but is now blocked by a shingle bar, creating a fresh-water loch. Lovely views across the loch to the Broch and the ruins of a croft-house beneath.

Tip by

2.43 km

Culswick Broch is built of a striking red stone, and has beautiful views all around, standing on the top of a rock platform.

Culswick Broch is notable for the massive triangular lintel stone over the entrance.
