Description

Bremire is a substantial example of a traditional Shetland farm, which includes a house, barn, and byres, with a yard located to the north.

The crofthouse is a single-storey building with a gabled roof, oriented north-south at the center of the complex. It has been extended by one bay to the south, and there is a gabled wing that projects from the center of the east elevation. To the north of the crofthouse, there is a barn that features a kiln at its northern gable. Additionally, there is a two-chamber byre that adjoins to the west of the barn.

Enclosing the yard to the east, there are remains of a drystone wall that extends north from the kiln and curves to the right.

Local climate

Bremire sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,090 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 87% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 3 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 98% of listed buildings. Of these, 3 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
