This live camera looks out over Burray, a small island in the South Ronaldsay group of Orkney, off the northern coast of Scotland. It is a useful window for anyone curious about the weather and light on these low, windswept islands before planning a trip or simply keeping an eye on the sea.
About Burray and its setting
Burray is one of the small islands linked to the Orkney mainland by a chain of causeways, the Churchill Barriers, which were built during the Second World War to block sea access to Scapa Flow. The island is flat and green, with farmland, grazing and a coastline of rocks and sandy bays. Its history is closely tied to the wartime defences and to the Scapa Flow naval base, and the landscape is shaped by the sea on every side.
What to watch and when
The camera shows the island as the weather and daylight change, so it is most rewarding when clouds move quickly over the water or when the low sun catches the fields. Orkney skies can shift within minutes, and the long summer evenings bring soft, late light. Winter days are short, so the view is often grey or lit only in the middle of the day. Check the live weather on this page to see what conditions look like before you watch.
Practical notes and nearby cameras
Orkney has a cool, mild maritime climate with wind throughout the year. The summer months are generally the most comfortable for visiting, though rain and gusts are possible at any time. Burray is reached by road from Kirkwall on the Orkney Mainland, and the ferry and air links to the islands are the main way in. Nearby on VizCams you can also view the Orkney Islands camera, which is about 22 km away, as well as cameras in Borgie, Brora and Dornoch further along the Scottish coast.
