Newly-built housing, with brightly-coloured doors. A vadill is a place where a houb or voehead can be crossed by wading at low tide, and the name was chosen by Damien Ristori of Lerwick Community Council to remember the Vadill that was formerly at this site, before the Lerwick docks and quays extended further out into Bressay Sound. A view of the former Vadill can be seen here http://photos.shetland-museum.org.uk/image.php?i=38376&r=2&t=4&x=1
