Amazing, beautiful pearl of wooden architecture, but (!) The community does not let in, and even the surrounding area. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, and here it is ... I hope it will not be so

I visited here for the first time yesterday: July 23, 2021. Unfortunately, the fence around, the gate is closed ... On the one hand it is protection from criminals, on the other - visitors can't look in the middle of a temple at least through a window ...

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.
