SUMMARY:Old Scatness Tours - Fridays 10.15am\, 12.15pm and 2.30pm
DESCRIPTION:The Iron Age Broch and Iron Age Village at Old Scatness was an undisturbed\, pristine time capsule when first discovered in 1975\, as the result of a road being put through what was thought to be a natural mound.  The road was realigned to protect the site when it was identified as a broch by a local historian.  Some twenty years later\, excavations were initiated by Shetland Amenity Trust as part of an “Access to Heritage” project. From its inception\, the aim was to excavate the site to the highest possible standard\, while breaking down the perceived academic barriers of archaeology. \n\nOld Scatness Broch and Iron Age Village lay undiscovered beneath our feet for over a millennium. Come along for a guided tour and learn about the mystery\, myth and legend of this world class heritage site. The site is open for tours every Friday until 25 September. \nPlease note that the tour involves walking on gravel paths and grass where the ground surface may be uneven. There are narrow steps (with a handrail) into one of the buildings (optional). \nPlease note tours last approx. 45 mins to 1 hour

SUMMARY:Wemyss Caves Pictish Carvings - Full Guided Tour and Museum 2026
DESCRIPTION:Come and see the largest collection of Pictish carvings anywhere – still in the place they were made over 1\,500 years ago – with the Save Wemyss Ancient Caves Society on these Sunday tours. \nLocated on a dramatic stretch of Fife coastline overlooking the Firth of Forth\, the Wemyss Caves are home to over 50 inscribed symbols\, animal figures and a depiction of an early medieval boat. The caves also house several crosses carved by the first Christian missionaries to visit the area and on the cliffs above sit the remains of medieval MacDuff Castle\, once home to the Earls of Fife. \nThe Tour\nThe tour covers 5\,000 years of human activity on the site through visits to Court Cave\, Doo Cave\, MacDuff Castle and Jonathan’s Cave. \nThey can only take a small number on each tour so you must book in advance. They can’t take anyone who turns up without a booking. \nThe Museum\nYou are very welcome to spend time looking round their Museum\, housed in the Visitor Centre. It’s best to do so before the tour\, and the Museum will be open from 1:40pm. \nAs well as telling the story of the caves\, the Museum has displays and information on local geology and history\, including later industries based in the village like mining and textiles. \nToilet facilities and refreshments are available. \nParking\nPlease note that there is no on-site parking at the Visitor Centre in The Haugh\, which is a cul-de-sac and highly unsuitable for visitor traffic. Please park instead in the public areas on Main Street or Back Dykes\, from where it is a three minute walk to the Visitor Centre. . \nDonations\nAll tours are given free of charge\, but as a voluntary organisation they encourage donations from those who can afford it. Your donations enable them to continue protecting the site so that it can to be enjoyed into the future.
