Feal Burn

Site of old water mills in Houbie. Check out the video page 'After the Rain' to see it in full flow. You can clearly see the fish ladders all the way up the burn. The burn runs from Skutes Water at the foot of Vord Hill in the North. Vord Hill is the highest viewpoint of Fetlar.

The mills were horizontal; prevalent use in Shetland and further afield.
