Old Scatness is an archaeological site in the South Mainland of Shetland, near Sumburgh Airport consisting of medieval, Viking, Pictish, and Iron Age remains. It has been a settlement for thousands of years, each new generation adding buildings, and levelling off old ones. Among the discoveries is an Iron Age broch.
