The Brough of Birsay is an uninhabited tidal island off the north-west coast of Mainland Orkney. It features the remains of a busy complex of Pictish, Norse and later settlements, as well as a modern light house. An unusual Pictish symbol stone was found here and the remains of the Norse settlement included a Romanesque church that was a place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. The red sandstone cliffs of Marwick Head are on the coastal path which extends to the Brough via Birsay Bay.
