@cutekitty Going for the formal answer from the Scots Dictionary:
A flat rock forming a natural landing-place, specif. a kind of private pier used for the unloading of goods from a boat to the courtyard type of house and warehouse once common in Shetland., esp. in Lerwick harbour
@lifeat60degrees haha.....definitely yes to Pirates......I guess a bit like the houses in Venice then.....they used to unload good direct into their (watery) basements too.....
