West Burrafirth

West Burrafirth PierWest Burrafirth makes a good anchorage featuring a pictish broch and shelters the pier for the Papa Stour Ferry.

To the east lies unhabited Vementry Isle and the sound of Swarbacks Minn, the entrance to Aith Voe, Olna Firth,  and Busta Voe - a former naval anchorage. As you enter, look up towards Vementry's First World War watch tower and two gun emplacements which guard the sound. The isle also features Shetland's best-preserved chambered cairn.
