Ytste Skotet

Ytste Skotet is a complete, preserved, historical farm located in Fjord Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

The name Skotet (pronounced Skøt-e where "ø" sounds like the "u" in "curling" and the "e" like the "o" in fjord) signifies a high elevation projecting point of land.

It is a typical pre-industrial operation that remained in use until modern times; the activities still shown here are representative of the old ways of the mountain-and-fjord farms along the Storfjorden.

The place lay fallow until 1989 when the property, comprising 750 acres (3.0 km2), was assigned to the Storfjordens Venner (The Friends of the Great Fjord) foundation, which has rehabilitated the buildings and the cultivated landscape.

Norsk Kulturråd (Norwegian Culture Council) has selected Ytste Skotet to be one of nine projects in Norway working under the motto "Children, youngsters, and museums".
