Situated on the River Tweed (renowned for its salmon), to the E of St Thomas's Island. Despite rebuilding, an example of relatively rare building type, particularly notable for its ice house and the bulge in its gable end - a feature common to fishing shiels in the area including that on St Thomas's Island itself (not listed) and Finchy Shiel to the NE (see separate list entry). This bulge is thought to have accommodated a net boiler and would therefore, originally have had a flue above. This particular shiel is owned by the nearby Fishwick Mains (see separate list entry).
