NLO: Lerwick [name: HU 475 415].
(Location cited as HU 479 413). The Lodberrie, Lerwick, late 18th or early 19th centuries. An attractive compact group of dwelling houses and stores on a pier projecting into the harbour. There is a sea-door with a wall crane, on the sea-front; cf. Stromness, Orkney.
J R Hume 1977.
The ill-defined area of Lerwick Harbour (HU44SE 32: centred HU 47722 41345) essentially forms an extensive roadstead which comprises the waters of Bressay Sound between the narrow Northern entrance (around HU 475 445) and the broader Southern entrance (around HU 483 400). The main facilities are to be found around HU 477 414, on the W side of the Sound; recent development extends Northwards from this point.
