Old Haa Museum

Old Haa Museum

The Old Haa of Brough in Burravoe, Yell, Shetland built for Robert Tyrie, a merchant, in 1672, houses the local museum for Burravoe and Yell. The archway with an armorial panel above, with Tyrie's initials and the year 1672, are the remains of an old courtyard.

On 19 January 1942, a Catalina aircraft crashed on the hill above Burravoe. Seven of her 10 passengers were killed, and one of the propellers can be seen outside the Old Haa Museum.^[1]

There is a memorial to Bobby Tulloch at the museum.
