The Old Haa is a historic listed building built in 1672. It has 2 rooms, one upstairs and one down featuring displays offering an insight to the history of Yell.

One room is dedicated to natural history including the jawbone of a whale and panels detailing the geology of the island. The lower floor has a tearoom serving teas coffees and delicious home bakes. We have extra tables in the room that used to be the shop, with a view of the garden. The craft shop is now incorporated in the cafe area. Leading off the tearoom is a gallery where artwork is on show, the display changing every 3 weeks.

At the rear of the building is a large walled garden filled with flowers where you can sit to enjoy the views. It also has inuksuits, stone figures each made from a different Yell stone. The staff are always welcoming and can provide you with information to enjoy your stay in Yell.
