The worship leader with other services should be raised to the skies for his pastoral care in this temple, today under the evangelical heading "One is necessary"

Särna Kyrka is an active church in Särna, Sweden. The church is in the middle of a very well-kept complex with many graves, some of which are old. The whole garden area gives a feeling of calm and peace. Right next to it you can also visit the Särna Gammelkyrka, the ancestor of the new church, which is very worthwhile.

Clickimin Broch

The Broch of Clickimin is a large and well preserved, though somewhat restored broch near Lerwick. Originally built on an island in Clickimin Loch (now increased in size by silting and drainage), it was approached by a stone causeway. The water-level in the loch was reduced in 1874, leaving the broch high and dry. The broch is situated within a walled enclosure and, unusually for brochs, features a large 'blockhouse' between the opening in the enclosure and the broch itself. Another unusual feature is a stone slab featuring sculptured footprints, located in the causeway which approached the site. Situated across the loch is the Clickimin Leisure Centre.
