Field Visit (1999)
Kettletoft Village (HY63NE 25), with its pier and harbour, served the local fishing fleet as the main port on the island in the 19th and 20th centuries. It importance as a port has diminished since the construction of a new pier and ferry terminal at Loth at the south end of the island was completed in the 1990's. A number of buildings in the village are noted by RCAHMS. These include the post office (HY63NE 21), a substantial two-storied stone storehouse (HY63NE 22) and a cottage (HY63NE 24). The pier (HY63NE18.00) and slipway (HY63NE 23) are listed structures. A capstan (HY63NE18.01) stands to one side of the modern weighbridge, at the foot of the pier.
