Muness Castle

Muness Castle is a z-plan, 3 storey building (though only just over 2 floors remain) with circular towers at opposing corners. The castle was built in 1598 by Laurence Bruce and was designed by Andrew Crawford, who also designed Scalloway Castle.

There's an exciting history to it to engage kids: French raiders stormed and burned the castle in 1627 and although it was subsequently repaired, the castle was uninhabited by the late 1600s and is now said by some to be haunted!
