Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Clickimin Broch, Shetland Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. Originally constructed on a small island in Clickimin Loch, the site features a striking, double walled Iron Age roundhouse tower surrounded by a complex series of ancient fortified defences. Thanks to a lowering of the loch in 1874, the site is permanently connected to the mainland by a stone causeway and is free to access year round. The promontory at Clickimin shows evidence of having been occupied from at least the Bronze Age, about 1000 BC. Its use continued to about AD 500. The word broch is derived from Lowland Scots brough, meaning, among other things, fort. A broch is an Iron Age drystone hollow-walled structure of a type found only in Scotland. Brochs include some of the most sophisticated examples of drystone architecture ever created, and belong to the classification " complex Atlantic Roundhouse " devised by Scottish archaeologists. Broch of Clickimin located one mile South West of Lerwick. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
