Statement of Interest

The store was long used by the North of Scotland & Orkney & Shetland Steam Navigation Company (originally the Aberdeen, Leith and Clyde Shipping Company) and became known as the "Steamer Store Lodberry" although it ceased this function in 1875. Steamers would anchor in the harbour and goods were loaded into flit boats which unloaded into either the N or E sea door depending on the weather conditions.
