G'day Janine, There are no "streets" on Burray. The island was only connected to the Mainland and South Ronaldshay during the Second World War by the construction of Churchill Barriers. These were built to keep U-boats out of Scapa Flow after the torpedoing of H.M.S. Royal Oak. A road, the A961 was constructed on the top of the barriers. The other roads on the island are just farm access roads that have been up-graded. A half-way decent book shop should be able order in copies of the "Landranger" 1 in 50,000 series maps for you, if you haven't got a local specialist map shop. They are produced by the Ordnance Survey Department, in Southampton (they've probably got a web-site by now). Burray is on number 7 in series; the rest of Orkney is covered by Nos. 5 & 6. These maps are extremely useful as they show the major farm names, and numerous historical sites. As a substitute you can see a map of Burray at http://uk.multimap.com/map/places.cgi In Great Britain, many of the roads do not have formal names, and are referred to by the name of the place to which they lead. Thus a long road can have different "names" depending where you are on that road and in which direction you're heading.
