One of the highlights is the Broch of Clickimin, which we admire both from above on the hill and from close up. This remarkably well-preserved Iron Age round tower was probably built around 100 BC. Its massive double walls and beautiful location beside Clickimin Loch make it a fascinating glimpse into a distant past. Its exact purpose remains uncertain to this day – which adds an extra sense of mystery to this remarkable place.
Lerwick is also our last port of call in the Shetland Islands. As soon as the next favourable wind arrives, we will point the bow south again and continue our journey.
