The Old Haa is a museum, garden and tearoom on the island of Yell in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. Inside you'll find a collection of historic objects and an archive, alongside a programme of contemporary arts and crafts exhibitions in the gallery. Outside, a well-established walled garden offers peace and quiet, with seating, walkways and picnic tables, plus a display of Inuksuit rock sculptures created with local schoolchildren. There's a tearoom serving home-baked cakes, and a small shop with souvenirs and local goods. It suits those interested in local history, art and gardens, and makes a relaxed stop as part of a wider visit to the Shetland Islands, where it sits among the area's Museums & Galleries attractions.
