This restored thatched crofthouse and watermill is as it would have looked in the 1890's. 

If the smell of the peat smoke is too much for your nose, then take a sniff of the reest or salt fish, the custodians often dry above the fire. Have a go at setting the moose faa while you are there - a very effective trap!

While at the South end of Shetland, why not compare the mill at the Crofthouse Museum with the Quendale Water Mill.

The mill was built in 1867 to handle the grain from the Quendale Estate, but it also ground grain for crofters from a very wide surrounding area.

The mill still operates in winter when there is enough water to drive to wheel, a video of the workings can be viewed in the attached centre.

Imagine the smell and dust when the mill was working at full capacity.
