The Lodberrie's skeo and the sheltering wall. The boat in the noost is the Pinocchio, a late 70's racing Maid.

A skeo (Norn: Skjó) was a type of stone larder used to preserve unsalted meat or fish. They tended to be used before the early 19th century. The gaps in the stone walls of some of the more primitive ones allowed for meat or fish to be wind dried.
