Burrafirth (Shaetlan pronunciation: [ˈbɔrəfɪrt] ⓘ BURR-ə-firrt, Old Norse: Borgarfjorðr, meaning “the fjord with a castle”) is a settlement on the island of Unst, Shetland, Scotland. It separates the fjord Burra Firth from the Loch of Cliff.
Burrafirth is said to have once been home to a giant called Saxi, who, together with another giant, was lured away by a mermaid.[1]
