Statement of Scheduling

This monument was a small, hand operated crane built of iron, of a type once common on docksides and ports, but now rare. It was located on the edge of the old pier at North Haven, Fair Isle. At some point during 2021, the crane was dismantled for health and safety reasons and subsequently removed. This was carried out without scheduled monument consent. HES Planning, Consents and Advice Service carried out an investigation and after this was concluded requested that the scheduling be reviewed.

There are no remains of the crane surviving within the scheduled area. Therefore, we have found that the site no longer meets the criterion of national importance and the designation has been removed.
