If you're in the area, the broch is worth a visit and entry is free

The buildings whose ruins survive here may have developed over a period of almost 1,000 years, between about 800 and 700 BC. The Broch Tower was built sometime between 400 and 100 BC. Scholars still debate whether it was a prestigious estate, a fortified fortress or both - the evidence is inconclusive.

After a few centuries the height of the broch was reduced and rebuilt inside. The occupants of this later building were notable figures who enjoyed imported luxury - fragments of a decorated Roman glass bowl have been found here.

SECRETS OF CLICKIMIN

The purpose of the two-storey outwork is unknown. It could be a standalone guardhouse or defensive structure connected to the broch, a remnant of an earlier fortress or perhaps a site of ritual conflict.

From the cave in which adults can stand, there is a corridor above. You can see it in one of my pictures.
