Door to the Shore is situated 2 meteres from the slipway into this ancient harbour in Pitullie named Craighaven harbour. In the fifteenth century, around a small creek in the 600-million-year-old rocks on the Phingask Coast of Moray Firth in North-east Scotland, grew a small fishing community. Its identity became the settlement of Pitullie. A few hardy families battled with the North Sea to thrive on its harvest of fish. A self-sufficient entity evolved as the feudal "Land of the Pitullies", with the skills necessary to support village life. Thrift and recycling were " virtues" required by many of the poor. Door to the Shore is a modern day equivalent of Bothys made from upturned boats used by fisherfolk as housing. The land that Door to the Shore is situated was the land used to dock these small lobster and crab boats, that used the small creek/boat haven, for repair and repainting or safe keeping during storms. The area of 28 Pitullie was often a scene of upturned boats undergoing repair and repainting and the choice of Eco Pod Design was based on this original use of the land.
