Burray is a small Orkney Island that is linked to the mainland and to South Ronaldsay by the 4th Churchill Barrier, one of the causeways linking the islands together. As a result, the island is not isolated and the dunes that have built up over the years make the highway look as if it was built on natural land. The barriers were erected during the Second World War after the sinking of German U-boat in Scapa Flow to prevent these boats from entering the waters. Visitors are drawn to Burray because of the white sandy beaches. Here they can indulge in a variety of water activities, such as swimming, diving, canoeing, sailing and water skiing. Fishing off the reefs is also an enjoyable activity and it is easy to see many avid fishermen looking for the elusive bog one. The village itself has many different types of accommodations from hotels to efficiency cottages, as well as restaurants.
