Fishing Station, Heogan, Bressay

This later 19th-century fishing station complex is located at Heogan, Bressay, and includes a house and store at its centre, with outbuildings to the north and south, a courtyard to the rear, and a pier to the south. The buildings are constructed primarily of harl-pointed rubble walls with stugged and droved sandstone dressings to the principal elevation of the house, and lime-harl-pointed rubble walls elsewhere.

The house and store have a west-facing principal elevation featuring a 2-storey, 3-bay gabled house, with a single-storey store adjoining it to the north. The house has a door offset to the right of centre on the ground floor, a small window to the outer right, and regular window placement in the bay to the left, with matching fenestration at the first floor. The single-storey store to the left has a window to the left of centre and a vertically-boarded timber door at the outer right. The north gable of the house is blank, while the store projects at ground level with a square window in the gablehead. A high rubble wall extends to the barrel store gable on the left. The east-facing rear elevation has windows centred at the first floor and only in the bay to the left on the ground floor. The south gable features a 2-bay gable with a single window at the first floor in the bay to the left.

To the north of the house is a symmetrical, single-storey, 3-bay store. It has a door in the centre bay, and two square ventilators at ground level in the flanking bays. A slit ventilator is positioned centrally on the rear elevation, and another two square ventilators are at ground level in the north gable. A symmetrical, single-storey, 5-bay gabled store is aligned to the south of the house, with a central door in the west elevation and windows in the flanking bays. A modern lean-to addition is present at the rear.

The long, gabled barrel store encloses the east side of the courtyard. It has a blank east elevation, a courtyard elevation featuring a segmental-arched door near the centre, rubble buttresses, and a large modern opening to the right. A single window is situated to the right in the north gable. In the northeast corner of the courtyard stands a 2x2 bay roofless rubble building with square windows and a door at its southeast corner, adjoining the barrel store.

The pier projects south into the sea. It is constructed with Bressay stone walls and a slabbed carriageway. The east wall turns at a right angle and extends east as a sea wall. A derrick with a timber mast and boom, and iron fittings, is located at the pierhead.
