St. Ouen's Manor is the traditional home of the Seigneur of St. Ouen, and the ancestral home of the de Carteret family. The earliest record of the house dates from 1135. The house and grounds remain intact today, and the house is a private home for the De Carteret family. It is occasionally open to the public.
References: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.
