Crofthouse Museum
The Shetland Crofthouse Museum is operated by Shetland Museum and Archives. Head down to the delightful setting of Dunrossness and step back in time as you enter the traditional 19th century thatched crofthouse. The property is presented in the style of how it would have looked in the 1870s. Smell the peat fire, discover the box beds and try to set the traditional Shetland mouse trap. The crofthouse also has a lovely garden. Hear our knowledgeable custodians tell stories about how it would have been to live in a typical crofthouse and what families would have to have done to make a living from the land.
