Broch of Clickimin, Archaeological site with broch tower in Lerwick, Scotland.
The Broch of Clickimin features a large circular stone tower with double walls, measuring 20 meters in diameter on the shore of Clickimin Loch.
The settlement developed from a Bronze Age farmstead in 1000 BC to a fortified structure with additional defenses, including a blockhouse constructed around 100 BC.
The stone slab with carved footprints on the causeway represents potential connections to ancient Scottish inauguration ceremonies and leadership traditions.
Visitors can explore the site daily from April through September between 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM, and from October through March between 10 AM and 4 PM.
The structure contains multiple ground-level cells within its thick stone walls and includes an exceptional defensive blockhouse at the entrance, marking it among Scottish brochs.
