Scousburgh is a small community in the South Mainland, 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, and the current BT, and Digital TV, communication towers. From there another road leads down to the A970 on the east side of the Hill, just south of Levenwick.
