Burray

Travel Guide

The remains of the German High Seas Fleet that was scuttled in Scapa Flow. View taken from X1 Stagecoach bus crossing the Churchill Barriers from Burray to Mainland (right hand side). #History
The Light at the End of the World
Very Low Tide There isn't usually this much beach here. Taken at sunset on February 12th looking eastwards. The land in the distance is Holm (pronounced "Ham") on Mainland, Orkney.
Sunset over The Empire Seaman Not a bad evening. No Photoshop: pure nature.
Ferry traffic on the barrier Traffic heading southwards to catch the evening ferry, the Pentalina, from St. Margaret's Hope. Taken at 5:10 pm on Friday, 12th February. It's ok in the summer, but I couldn't live here in the winter.

The hotel closed all food and beverage service. There was a notice on their website but no notice on Expedia.
