Talk:Burra

Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia

Should this be on the Burra page or not?

This is the issue in debate. Please add your thoughts:

Burra.co.uk Controversy (origionally a headline, however I made it bold on this page just so its easier to read)
A website was registered by a burra resident to the url http://www.burra.co.uk. The website had a guestbook, and pictures which showed a police car crashed in Burra after a chase which ended when the police skidded off road and crashed. The website also featured pictures of alleged animal cruelty involving chickens having their heads put up the exhuast pipes or cars. While the images did not show the animals being killed, they still suggested it and it promoted the idea. Due to these controversial images, the website was subsequently deleted by the ISP after being contacted by the police. The address now just has a picture which says "Burra", and a message that reads: "site under contruction", and is thus most likely under new ownership.


Is this needed on the page or do you think it is not.

Personally, I think it could be included but perhaps re-written. JAStewart 15:29, 3 August 2006 (BST)

Burra slideshow from the 1960s on YouTube?

A while back I watched a YouTube show of a lot of slides/film from Burra in the 1960s, with Thomas Fraser tunes for soundtrack. Would have made a nice link, but can't seem to find it now. I suppose it might have been taken down if it contravened copyright on Fraser? Onybody ken whit I mean? Ex-isle 04:27, 14 July 2007 (MDT)

Just found it on an AOL search, but blocked with this: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Burra History Group" Ex-isle 06:39, 14 July 2007 (MDT)
