    I highly recommend visiting. The broch is just at the edge of Lerwick and easy to walk to from the port. It's free to visit and had very few tourists. It is particularly interesting as so few broch's are so well preserved while being so accessible.

    Interesting place, we found the walk to Broch of Climinin along the coast breathtaking with many great sights on the way.

    Very interesting, Bizarre that there’s nowhere really to park,

    Visited in a midnight but didn't actually get in. Heard a weird, creepy sound of the wind blowing through the broch when standing in front of it. That sound vanishes quickly once we step back a little. Always be respectful to these ancient heritages.

    Interesting site to visit and view; no parking at the location but the Tesco's car park is very close by with a convenient pedestrian access point to head over to the broch.

    An impressive Broch just on the outskirts of Lerwick. With information boards and being able to look around both inside and out, you'll get a good idea how well made these were providing shelter from the sometimes harsh weather.

    Was lucky enough to arrive whilst a visit tour, was taking place, very interesting, and amazed at the broch.

    I'd never heard of this type of fortified building before so being able to look around one that was quite so intact was a delight

    Very tidy site within the environs of Lerwick ... apart from some thoughtless recently discarded litter. Well labelled.

    Easy to access and a stunning bit of water surrounding it. Much a ruin, but a pleasant view if you go to the top. A small section to almost crawl through, but can stay stood up, then a circular grass section to navigate to the top, but with little difficulty.

    Great example of a broch, though not necessarily the most authentic. Mousa Broch gives the best idea, but this is more accessible and has some of the atmosphere.

    Beautiful site, its magnificent to see such a site from thousands years back still exist in good condition

  • 5/5 Islean G. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing broch with lots of interesting view points and paces to explore.

  • 5/5 Nicola R. 11 months ago on Google
    Lovely to see this iron age building still standing.

    A fun stop to explore with adequate signage at the site. We spend a few minutes at these sites to stretch our legs and observe the surrounding views. Worth a quick pit stop if you are in the area.
