The islands' rich past is well portrayed in the local museums and heritage centres. As well as the Pictish and Viking remains, Shetland's archaeology stretches back to Neolithic times. Excellent examples of the islands' ancient past can be discovered on the island of Mousa, home to the 2,000-year-old Mousa Broch, and at the ancient site of Jarlshof.
