Over the Barriers
South Ronaldsay and Burray are now joined
to the mainland by the Churchill Barriers and thus are easily
accessed, except during winter storms, when they may become
briefly impassible. The little islands of Lamb Holm, with
the Italian Chapel,and Glimps Holm are stepping stones on
the way to Burray.
There are many sites of interest "Over the Barriers",
including their associated blockships and the lovely sandy
beaches which have built up at Barriers #3 and #4. These
include the Tomb of the Eagles, the Hoxa Tapestry Gallery,
the Marine Life Centre and St Margaret's Hope.
