Island 25 - Burray, Orkney

Burray is located between South Ronaldsay and Glimps Holm, to which it is linked by Churchill Barriers 4 and 3 respectively.  The small island of Hunda has the 5th and lesser known Churchill Barrier linking it to Burray from the hamlet of Littlequoy at the western end of the island.  The highest point on Burray is 80 metres above sea level.

The main tourist attraction on Burray is the Orkney Fossil and Heritage Centre, which also has a café.
