Burrafirth, Unst, is a small settlement northwest of Haroldswick between Loch of Cliff and the southern end of Burra Firth. Burrafirth is where the shore station for the Muckle Flugga Lighthouse was located. The building now houses the Hermaness Visitor Centre, the starting point for a visit to the nearby Hermaness Nature Reserve.
