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".
