Old Photograph Orkneyman's Cave Bressay Scotland

Old photograph of the Orkneyman's Cave and cliffs on the Island of Bressay, Shetland Islands, Scotland. Bressay lies due south of Whalsay, west of Noss, and north of Mousa. At 11 square miles, it is the fifth largest island in Shetland. The population is around 360 people, concentrated in the middle of the west coast, around Glebe and Fullaburn. The island is made up of Old Red Sandstone with some basaltic intrusions. Bressay was quarried extensively for building materials, used all over Shetland, especially in nearby Lerwick. There are a number of sea caves and arches.
