The Brough of Birsay is an uninhabited tidal island off the north-west coast of The Mainland of Orkney, Scotland, in the parish of Birsay. It is located around 13 miles north of Stromness and features the remains of Pictish and Norse settlements as well as a modern light house. The visit is dependent upon the Tides
lovely tidal island where the north sea and atlantic meet, you can cross to the island when the tide is low
A Viking palace, St Magnus' initial resting place, tidal causeway (watch your tide times), lighthouse, crashing ocean waves, Marwick Head, Kitchener memorial. There's plenty going on up the top end. Refreshments at Birsay Bay tearooms. Call into Birsay shop for crafty gifts, soup and a scone to take up to the Brough carpark and watch the ocean. Theres often an excellent burger van up at the Brough carpark too.
