A small, uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland, known for its historical significance as the final resting place of Lord Ullin, a 12th-century Norse warrior, and its picturesque scenery featuring rugged cliffs, rocky shores, and a historic burial ground.
Burr Point is the most Easterly point on the island of Ireland, marked by the Big E sculpture at the harbour car park. Just offshore of the harbour is Burial Island, which is a rocky little islet covered in seabirds - ( the name Burial Island is possibly derived from the Irish word 'Broighill', which means cormorants). Legend has it that the island contains a Danish Viking burial chamber full of gold. In May 1917, during World War 1, German U-Boat UC65 captured four vessels, the Saint Mungo, Derrymore, Amber, and the Morion, and sunk all four of them in Ballyhalbert Bay. I set foot on this island when I was a kid after being taken out on a small motor boat. We stepped off the boat and stood on the island for a few minutes, just so we could say we had done it.
