Burray

The main settlement on Burray is Burray Village, formerly a fishing port, which is on its south west coast. There are also the settlements of Northtown, Southtown and Hillside on the island.

The Churchill Barriers of Orkney were built during WWII. Much of the labour was provided by over 1300 Italian prisoners of war, who had been captured in the desert war in North Africa, who were transported to Orkney from early 1942 onwards.
