Burray is the third island in the chain linked by the Barriers, sandwiched between the East Mainland of Orkney and South Ronaldsay.
Burray Village with its boatyard and former herring store was a bustling centre for the herring fishing boats which were an important part of the local economy in the 19th century.
Burray is small and not particularly attractive, certainly not spectacular with a low lying and indistinct landscape.
