Brough Of Birsay

Las Ramblas head North for a short walk in the Orkney's. Linda, Neil, Alfie, Marion, Bruce, Jill, Kay, Kevin & Alfie (The Dog). Unfortunately Tammy Wynette missed the tide and had to wait by the Ice Cream Van on the Mainland.

Route
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.
