Category A Listed former laird's house of about 1750, now transformed into three town house apartments for long or short term letting. One of Shetland's finest haa houses. The armorial panel over the doorway commemorates the marriage of James Scott and Katherine Sinclair in 1750. On the buildings at risk register from 1990 it was vacant due to a legal dispute.
