Brough of Birsay 🇬🇧

#timetotravel The Brough of Birsay, perched on the rugged coastline of Orkney in the United Kingdom, is a captivating historical and natural wonder. My visit to this tidal island was a journey back in time. Accessible by a causeway that's uncovered during low tide, the Brough of Birsay offers a unique opportunity to explore the remains of an ancient Norse settlement. Walking through the well-preserved ruins of Viking houses and the medieval church was like stepping into the past. The rugged cliffs and sweeping sea views that surround the island are awe-inspiring. Watching the waves crash against the cliffs while seabirds circled overhead was a memorable experience. I recommend checking the tide times before visiting to ensure you have ample time to explore safely. The location, rich history, and dramatic natural beauty make the Brough of Birsay a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
