Scousburgh is a small community in the parish of Dunrossness, in the South Mainland of Shetland, Scotland, overlooking the picturesque Scousburgh Sand, and Spiggie Loch. From Scousburgh a road leads up the hill to the site of the former Mossy Hill army base. This road has a connection to Scousburgh Hill the site of the now redundant trans horizon transmission dishes. From there another road leads down to the A970 on the east side of the Hill.[1]

There is a broch (Iron Age fort) just North of Scousburgh, behind Rhu-allen[2], Bremire Crofthouse (traditional Shetland farm) South of Scousburgh[3] and eleven horizontal 19th century cereal water mills alongside the Burn of Scousburgh[4] that have been designated as scheduled monuments by Historic Environment Scotland.
