Access Restrictions on the Egilsay and Birsay to Dounby Sections

Egilsay Section

Due to access restrictions in place as a precautionary measure while Historic Environment Scotland undertake high level masonry inspections on the St Magnus Church, there is currently no visitor access to this church building.

Birsay to Dounby Section

At present we advise not walking between Birsay village, Boardhouse Mill and the Mans Well. An alternative is to visit the well by car or walk there by road before walking the rest of this section.
