Statement of Interest

William Bruce of Sumburgh sold his brother "a tenement (an area of land) at the south end of Uyeasound on the W part of the Quoy, commonly called the Dutch Quoy of Sound, separated by a dyke from the lands of Ronan, Gardie and Umboth." In 1756 "Greenwell Booth" appears as a boundary mark in a land transaction. A photograph of the 1930s shows the SE elevation with a gablehead for a pitched roof, the stone slabs of which are currently stored in the shell.
