The cruciform church is located in Bergum in Friesland. There is also a cemetery around the church

Beautiful church and beautiful cemetery. Ended up here looking for my family history and also found the grave of my great-grandparents. Fortunately not cleared. Very nice manager who could also tell us a lot about the church and the graves around it. I will definitely come back here.

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.
