Orkney Smr Note (July 1986)
Immediately W of Veantro is a naust-toft, 2m wide and 4m
long, cut into the banks facing a clear stony foreshore. Some
flat stones here appear to have been deliberately placed and may
be remains of a constructed slipway. The batsto is a gap in the
rocks near low-water mark. This naust is at present in use for a
dinghy.
