Scalloway Islands

The south end of East Burra

The Scalloway Islands are in Shetland opposite Scalloway on south west of the Mainland.[1] They form a mini-archipelago and include:

* East Burra (with Houss Ness)
* West Burra
* South Havra
* Little Havra

The aforementioned islands were all part of the ancient civil parish of Burra, which was merged with Lerwick in 1891.[2]

They are shown on coloured maps as part of Lerwick.[3]

* Langa – belongs to Civil parish of Tingwall
