It is on a small hill surrounded by forest. Part of the height of the exterior walls and some of the interior structure remain standing.

Well preserved ruins. The best, the walk through the forest.

Ruins of a castle in a beautiful location. It is partially restored and is very easy to get to. There are picnic areas nearby.

Partially restored remains of what was a castle located on an old Castro. It has beautiful views, a sentry box, the base of the keep and a moat or water tank. A hiking trail starts from there, and there are some picnic areas near the river.

Encontramos ese rinconcito por casualidad. Lugar con encanto para pasear ya que tiene bosque y ruta de senderismo entre árboles y sombra, que con calor se agradece. Bonita leyenda/historia relacionada con el castillo y el mismísimo apóstol Santiago!!!

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.
