Former Stewart family boatshed at Kenary, Grimsay, where Grimsay boats were built from the 1840s to 2000
The old Stewart boatshed at Kenary on Scotvein Bay, Grimsay, is where four generations of the Stewart family built Grimsay boats from the 1840s, when Charles Stewart settled on the island, until 2000. Up to 1,000 boats may have been built here: small, fast, stable craft designed for beaching in rocky inlets and for lobster fishing off the Atlantic coast.
The Stewart tradition is continued at the Grimsay Boatshed at Kallin and recorded at the Grimsay Boat Museum at Ceann na h-Àirigh, where five of the boats are displayed.
