Informations supplémentaires

Churchill Barrier 3 joins Glimps Holm to Burray, forming one link in the chain of artificial coastal defences which connects Orkney Mainland to the islands of Lamb Holm, Glimps Holm, Burray and South Ronaldsay. These barriers were built during WWII to block off the eastern approaches to Scapa Flow which served as the base of the British Home Fleet. The barriers were constructed by Italian prisoners of war from numerous five to ten ton concrete blocks set on rubble foundations, laid onto the sea bed. After the war, a road surface was laid over the barriers, creating a causeway which forms part of the A961 road between St. Mary's Holm (Mainland) and St. Margaret's Hope (South Ronaldsay).
