Local Area
Burray is connected to the main island of Orkney by road across the spectacular Churchill Barriers, creating one of the most scenic drives in the area. Along the way visitors can see the historic block ships that were sunk during the two World Wars.
The Orkney Isles are a stunning collection of islands known for their spectacular scenery and rich history. Burray lies just north of South Ronaldsay, the southernmost of the Orkney islands, with the two islands connected by the fourth Churchill Barrier.
Scapa Flow is recognised as one of the best diving sites in the world, and diving courses can be arranged for beginners wishing to experience it for the first time. After a day of exploring, visitors can enjoy a relaxing stroll along one of the many sandy beaches and admire the clear blue seas.
