Scope and Content Pier, Voe, Shetland This is a small rubble pier with a cattle-loading ramp down the east side, and with a timber-piled extension. A tramway ran along the wooden deck of the extension, with a trolley to carry fish landed at the pier. This view shows the pier from the east illustrating the difference in construction between the two sections. The building on the left was built as a sail loft. The extension of the pier was designed to allow deeper-draughted vessels to berth. It is likely that the sail loft was built to make sails for the large sailing drifters of the later 19th century.
