Papa Westray, Holland House, Category B listed building in Papa Westray, Scotland.

Holland House features crow-stepped gables, harled flagstone walls, and spans two stories with a single-story wing on its southern side.

The property contains a Bothy Museum that exhibits farming tools and objects representing agricultural traditions of the Orkney Islands.

The complex includes a circular horse engine house with a restored conical flagstone roof and preserved side openings.
