Muckle Roe, Shetland

Shetland day 22

A walk around the island of Muckle Roe

In 1905 a bridge was built between Muckle Roe and the Shetland Mainland over Roe Sound at a cost of £1,020 met from public subscription and a grant from the Congested Districts Board.

The island's rock is red granite, which gives the island its name – a combination of Scots and Old Norse meaning "big red island".
