Brough of Birsay
'S e eilean ann an Arcaibh a tha ann am Brough of Birsay (Lochlannais/Nornais: Byrgisey). Tha e suidhichte san iar-thuath Mòr-thìr Arcaibh agus mu 13 mìltean tuath air Stromness. Ann an 2011 cha robh duine sam bith a' fuireach anns an eilean.[1]
'S uarrainnear coiseachd chun an eilein thairis air dòirlinn nàdarra, ma bhios a' mhuir air falbh. Aig làn-mara tha an t-eilean air e a sgaradh bhon tìr mhòr leis an Sound of Birsay a tha mu 240 metair an leud.[2]
