[2] Brough Lodge was built in the Gothic Revival style, with crenellated walls and bartizans at the corners.

"[1] After Sir Arthur died in 1863, the Fetlar estate was left to his widow, Eliza Jane Nicolson (d.1891), who lived in England.

Lady Jean's heir transferred ownership of Brough Lodge to the trust in 2007, which plans to use the building as a multi-purpose commercial venue.

[3] Proposals to make the building weatherproof, costed at £380,000, were supported by Shetland Islands Council, and fundraising efforts included a concert by Scots musicians Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham.

[5] In May 2023, Brough Lodge was put up for sale for £30,000, though the potential buyer would have to also pay an estimated £12 million to fully renovate the building.
