Stenness Fishing Station Bod, Stenness
Stenness Fishing Station Bod, Stenness
Category C Listed 19th century two-storey bod. Flanked by the remains of fishing lodges used during the summer haaf-fishing by men fishing for their landlords from sixerns (six-oared, six-man, open boats). It is possible that they were partially dismantled at the end of the season. The roof-timbers in particular were too precious to leave behind. As can be seen from a photograph taken in the 1880s, the roofs were finished with freshly cut turves. On the buildings at risk register, they note that in a 2014 inspection it was found that '... the former fishing station has had recent consolidation works undertaken to upper levels. Wallheads and lower level walls are in need of repointing'.
