Burra (Old Norse: Barrey ) is the collective name for two of the Shetland Islands, West (pop. 753) and East Burra (pop. 66), which are connected by bridge to one another, and to the Shetland Mainland via Trondra. In addition, Burra was an ancient Civil parish that included smaller additional islands such as South Havra, Little Havra, Papa and the tidal island West Head of Papa. The civil parish of Burra was merged into the civil parish of Lerwick, along with Quarff and Gulberwick, in 1891. It continues to exist as Quoad sacra parish of the Church of Scotland.

has abstract
| - Burra (Old Norse: Barrey ) is the collective name for two of the Shetland Islands, West (pop. 753) and East Burra (pop. 66), which are connected by bridge to one another, and to the Shetland Mainland via Trondra. In addition, Burra was an ancient Civil parish that included smaller additional islands such as South Havra, Little Havra, Papa and the tidal island West Head of Papa. The civil parish of Burra was merged into the civil parish of Lerwick, along with Quarff and Gulberwick, in 1891. It continues to exist as Quoad sacra parish of the Church of Scotland. Collins Encyclopedia of Scotland suggests that the name is a corruption of "Borgarey" (island of the broch), and while this is unlikely, and no broch is extant, the place name Brough, on West Burra lends some support to this case. However, the form used in the Orkneyinga saga is "Barrey". (en)
- Burra ist der kollektive Name der zwei schottischen Shetlandinseln West Burra und East Burra, letztere mit Houss Ness.Die beiden Insel haben zusammengenommen eine Landfläche von 12,71 km², und 852 Einwohner zum Stand des Zensus vom 27. März 2011. Hauptinsel ist West Burra mit 7,43 km² und 776 Einwohnern. Der Name Burra, früher auch Burray, steht auch für eine ehemalige Civil parish der schottischen Shetlandinseln. Diese wurde 1891 mit zwei weiteren Civil parishes (Quarff und Culberwick) in die Civil parish Lerwick (Hauptstadt der Shetlandinseln) eingegliedert, nachdem sie zwischenzeitlich zur Civil parish Bressay, Burra, and Quarff gehört hatte.Burra steht außerdem für eine bestehende Quoad sacra parish der Church of Scotland. Dieses Gebiet umfasste bzw. umfasst neben den beiden genannten Hauptinseln West Burra und East Burra noch einige kleinere, aktuell unbewohnte Inseln wie (0,59 km²) und (0,12 km²) im Süden und (mit West Head of Papa, 0,60 km²) im Norden. Zusammen mit Trondra, das zur Civil parish Tingwall gehört, bildet Burra die Communicty council area Burra and Trondra. Die genannten Inseln und weitere Inseln gehören zur Gruppe der Scalloway Islands im südwestlichen Bereich der Shetlandinseln. Die Gesamtfläche der früheren Civil parish betrug 14,02 km². (de)

Collins Encyclopedia of Scotland suggerisce che il nome "Burra" rappresenti una variazione da "Borgarey" (che significa "isola del broch"), e anche se ciò è improbabile, vista la mancanza di broch, il nome del luogo Brough su West Burra tende a supportare questa tesi. Tuttavia, la forma utilizzata all'interno della Saga degli uomini delle Orcadi (Orkneyinga saga) è "Barrey". (it)
