Cott HY 4988 5301 HY45SE

There are several nausts in the steep banks facing smoothly shelving rocks directly below Cott; three of these, formed of upright flagstones, averaging 5m by 2m and pointed at the end are at the bottom of the slope giving access to the top of the beach. S of these and higher up are traces of at least five further nausts. According to Mr W Irvine, Links, it was at Cott that most of the Papay boats used to land their catches.
