In the Dunrossness area of South Mainland, Shetland is the Shetland Crofthouse Museum at South Voe. It was restored to how it would have looked during the 19th century, with a typical two-room crofthouse and outbuildings comprising barn, byre, and drying kiln. There is also a restored water mill on the nearby burn.
