Everyone’s been busy this winter giving the Bridge End Outdoor Centre in Burra a major refurbishment with a fresh new look of pure comfort; new carpets, bedding, comfy furniture and black out curtains. Two rooms now have double beds with bunks making it ideal for extended family get togethers. Beds for 26 along with camping and caravanning make it brilliant for community groups, clubs and school trips.

The centre has full kitchen and dining facilities along with a comfortable sitting area and there are grassy grounds to run around and a marina which has a slipway for easy access to the water for water sports and swimming. On a summer’s evening the marina is a hive of activity with all the local kids jumping in and being an islet on a protected Voe it’s ideal for paddle boarding and having fun on small boats. There are no life guards so swimming and watersports are at your own risk.

Close to Burra’s best beaches (arguably the best beaches in Shetland..!) there are many excellent walks as well as opportunities to spot the resident otters and of course the Wallabys at Tasmanian Dave’s nearby zoo.
